"Hey can I rent this apartment?"
"Let me check... Seems like it's already occupied"
"Omg who is occupying it?"
"Let me print out their name and contact details for you"
Bad analogy.
This would be more like the property management having a record of what apartments are rented, and having a second list of who is renting apartments (but not which one), and the landlord wanting to know who is renting apartment 420 so they can draw up eviction papers.
That only applies in this situation if the requestor is also the owner of the building, as in the OP it is assumed the requestor owns the computer.
(On a multi-user system it is unlikely running Windows.)
If you've ever worked at a company, you probably were running Windows while simultaneously not owning your computer.
Is that even typical? At work we have like one Windows computer per person. But everyone has like 8 computers at home.
The computer is assigned to the person but it's still owned and managed by the company.
On macos, that program is sometimes just Finder trying to calculate folder size
Same on Mac except it’s an external drive that some mystery program is using.
same with my kobo. It VERY rarely ejects it. It will just say "unable to eject. force eject?"
