What else.I had my wifi adapter turned off but I feel like the machine was still connected to some sort of network or the just seemed like it was making the same noises/cycling through the fan/having the same delays as when I would be downloading files or watching online videos or something.

There are a TON of users on my new system, stuff I would never create, names like 'REMOTE INTERACTIVE LOGON', 'Remote Management Users', 'Service asserted identity', 'TERMINAL SERVER USER', 'Hyper-V Administrators', and if these are all just normal.why are they? They all make me think a network is right there, but I can't find it. Some processes are permanently 'suspended' like Search and a few others My laptop came with Windows 11 but I see 'Windows 10' all over the place I can't seem to change my wifi network names or pws when I try to do so I will randomly have 6 instances of ms edge running, and ms edge webviewer, when I never use that browser - I end the processes and they either start right back up or wait a few minutes, then they are back on. Examples: a bunch of my apps seemed to re-download, and their sizes were all 16.0 kb I would change a setting, anything really, and it would snap back to its away. I got a Dell Alienware M17 R5 AMD laptop that I was so excited for, and about a month after acquiring it, I noticed weird problems, new downloads, processes and services running that I didn't recognize or use before, so many weird issues.
