I recently checked my user settings using Netplwiz to see if everything on my computer is secure. I only have one user account, mine, so I thought I was in the clear. However, I noticed that it lists my group memberships as 'Administrators; Hyper-V Administrators; Performance Log Users'. I watched a video where the person only had 'Administrators' listed. Should I be concerned about the extra groups showing up? Am I safe, or could there be an issue? Sorry if this seems basic—I'm just a student and not very tech-savvy.

The groups you see are perfectly normal. The 'Hyper-V Administrators' and 'Performance Log Users' are standard groups that might show up depending on your system's configuration and installed features. Unless you've installed Hyper-V or are running specific logging tools, they're there as part of Windows' functionality and aren't a security risk.
Oh, I see! That makes sense. I was worried something might have gone wrong. Thanks for the explanation!
