Username changed in Windows 10. Has it been hacked?

I hardly used to use my home desktop but have to use it nowadays as my primary device isn't working and noticed that somehow it's (Windows 10) username has changed, even though that shouldn't be possible (its not activated).

I installed Glasswire but haven't noticed any suspicious activity. How to find out if my system is compromised?

What has it been changed to ?

"ashi"
Sounds like a name. I had installed the Windows in 2017 and only updated it recently so someone could've used an unpatched vulnerability or could it be the result of update itself?
I've been thinking of learning Burp suite. Maybe this is the right opportunity.

Seriously doubt anybody random would target you. Check with other people who have access to your pc.

Someone could set up a cryptominer. Any security expert here?

did you notice any degrade in performance ie high cpu / ram usage etc. ?

Is your user a local user or a microsoft account user ?
