Windows 10 added one more account: WDAGUtilityAccount
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/28
As of Windows 10 fall creators update, the WDAGUtilityAccount was added, so the default accounts on such a machine are these:
- Administrator
- DefaultAccount
- Guest
- WDAGUtilityAccount
Then there is one account for the user that installed the system (which is named by that user).
Windows Defender Application Guard is the reason for WDAGUtilityAccount as explained here:
- [WayBack] WDAGUtilityAccount | Drew Robinson’s Blog: Azure, Powershell and Security things
- [WayBack] Local system account and User-Group named WDAGUtilityAccount – Windows 10 indicates it is also installed in the Home edition
- [WayBack] Windows Defender Application Guard (Windows 10) | Microsoft Docs indicates it is only meant for Enterprise and Professional editions
- [WayBack] WDAGUtilityAccount ???? – Microsoft Community
