What is SUPPORT_388945a0?

I used the net user thing in command prompt. I found this user:
HelpAssistant

Is it just a microsoft service or is it another user connected to my computer?

I did some searching and found that it is an account that users in the Administrators group can assign rights to. When signed scripts get called from Help and Support Services pages, the scripts receive the rights of that account. So, in a nutshell, it cannot be used as a standard user. It is a very specific-use account. Got to love MS for that.

Hope this answers your question

Good Luck.
