My system name is changed
My system name was something like "DESKTOP-0BKER" and now I see that it is "DESKTOP-46IMG3D". I dont know when that happened. I saw it randomly today because I was used with the other system name and something looked off.
In the event viewer there is no Event ID 6011 so i can see when it was change and by who. is there anything to worry about? i checked all the ip-s in the cmd with netstat -ano and everything besides my computer is internet provider and microsoft.
Btw, the "Locale" in the System Information is United States even tho im from Europe. I think that in the past it was something else written there instead of the united states but im not sure.
In task manager there is nothing suspicious at least thats what I see.
Is there something to worry about? could that system desktop name change be caused by a hdd replaced with an ssd or something? (those are not windows hdd and ssd)

The "Locale" setting in System Information reflects regional settings, which can be manually changed or affected by system updates. If it used to be different, it might have been altered manually or during an update.
Event ID 6011 is related to DNS resolver cache issues, not system name changes. The system name change doesn’t always generate a specific event, especially if it was done through Windows settings or remotely by something else.
