This might be a dumb question, but how many antivirus programs do you have installed on this computer?
The unknown account could just be one that was deleted, e.g. if you upgraded from a previous version of Windows.
Check your registry under HKEY_USERS. If there isn't an entry that matches the string, then it is probably an old account.
Edit: You can also check more information about the account, though I'm not sure how useful it will be.

Someone watching you via Bluetooth is pretty unlikely, the speed drop over the smallest ranges is so large they'd have to be behind you watching what you're doing anyways.
If I had to guess I'd say the "monitor" aspect is a generic label for something with a display whether it be an actual monitor, TV, tablet or whatever. Hell my PC finds Bluetooth profiles of Bluetooth enabled things I have that it can't even work with but it still makes an entry for it regardless.
Well you're just removing a driver that was installed but the driver files for generic devices are stored locally so it'll constantly install as needed.The problem is that these devices are already connected, and always come back whenever I remove them
Well you're just removing a driver that was installed but the driver files for generic devices are stored locally so it'll constantly install as needed.
To get that to stop you'd need to unpair it from your Bluetooth settings then if you uninstall the driver it'd never come back unless you repaired the device or another that uses the same driver.
This could definitely be it, Windows will use people's PCs as servers to share updates peer to peer unless you disable the option.
That's what Shutup 10 is for:Yeah, kinda sucks that most of those settings get reverted after major updates.
Also finding more weird ".ink" files I've never accessed with account names I don't recognize in my Recent Items:
ms-gamingoverlay--startuptips-TitleId=1678530943&ProcessId=10204&WindowId=394504
I can't even find a TitleId for a game that would apply to
Also we had YouTube running on the PS4 and it said "[My dad's PC name] has signed on," despite the fact that the YouTube account and my dad's PC have never interacted. I have never cast anything to that YouTube account from my dad's laptop, and he has never logged in with that YouTube account on his PC. So there is absolutely some bluetooth fuckery going on here, right?
The wording in the option led me to believe I would download it once in my PC and then all PCs in the network would get it from me instead of MS servers, supposedly making it faster. I didn't pay attention to the fact that I would share the file with the internet though and in fact the "network sharing" NEVER worked.
So here's the bluetooth device / "monitor" I'm talking about.
1. I have bluetooth disabled
2. Whenever I check my connected bluetooth devices, it shows up under "Other devices"
3. When I hover over it and click "Remove," it comes back a short time later
4. When I go to Devices and Printers and uninstall it, it still comes back
5. I just went and checked my dad's laptop, and it was on there as well; same thing -- an unknown bluetooth device masqurading as a "monitor"
6. As I was typing this, I checked Devices and Printers and saw that a device, temporarily a "Generic Non-PnP Monitor," but now simply "Device," was in the process of being set up
7. In Event Viewer, the device showed up at the exact same time on both machines -- the day I upgraded this PC to Windows 10, Nov. 9
Also, isn't this alone incontrovertible proof of weirdness??
Throw the whole damn pc awayUPDATE: I uninstalled the entire bluetooth module and put the computer in sleep mode for a few minutes, but when I came back bluetooth was on again somehow and the device was back.
ThisThat's the GameBar, that comes up when you press Win+G or the Xbox button on a controller.
