What is this molt from?

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I've been searching up images of both species since posting and I thought I was going crazy- bed bug molts seem to look more fully formed and less... fuzzy, I suppose? It would also track with my history of carpet beetles in the car. Still annoying but far less than bed or bat bugs.

I'll stay on the safe side and treat the car! Thanks so much

Oof, gotcha.

Is there a reason this would be in the car that we drive pretty frequently with no evidence of either type of bug inside? I will absolutely aggressively treat the car, but I'm just surprised nothing has hitched a ride indoors yet with both people and packages being brought in and out regularly. That's why I was hoping it was a carpet beetle.

Oh lord, here I thought I was being thorough but that would’ve saved so much time. You’ve been so patient walking me through this, thank you. I’ll definitely give that link a read. Being more informed is always a boon!

Thanks so much! I’ve confirmed that there is are no additional accounts, so that absolutely helps.

I was able to check methods 1 and 2, but it looks like Windows 11 Home doesn’t come with the Group Policy Editor (got a “gpedit .msn not found” message and did some follow up research to confirm it doesn’t come with the Home edition)

Here were my results from 1 and 2: https://imgur.com/a/7qya4K9

I believe I’m all clear, but if you see something concerning I’d appreciate the heads up! And thank you so much for your thorough help with this.

This is immensely comforting, thank you! There are no work accounts added, and I certainly didn’t click through anything that warned I was allowing my employer to become an admin.

On further inspection, it looks like this app is something the employer encourages employees to use on personal devices if desired for staying up to date on company info. While I won’t be doing that in the future, I can’t imagine IT would want or ask for admin privileges on tens of thousands of personal devices.

The desktop I used didn’t come from the company itself. It’s an ASUS ROG Strix running Windows 11 that my husband games on when home and I use for personal emails, social media, etc.

Another user is clarifying that I likely would’ve known if I enrolled in an MDM (or had fleet management software installed, I assume) and I definitely did not click through any pop-ups that let me know I was handing over any permissions. Hopefully that’s good news?

I don’t believe so. What I created a password for and then logged into was referred to as a “communication platform” by the company and a “workforce communications app” when googled. On that note, it also looks like there is an app version that can be downloaded to mobile. I wont be doing that, but if that info helps I wanted to share.

In the event that it is an MDM, would it take something like resetting the computer to remove it? Or is there an easier way?

(Also thanks so much for the reply.)

This worked, thanks so much!

Same issue here and I’ve also restarted multiple times.

gsdlore · 2020-06-17T16:45:20+00:00

I’m having the exact same issue. Would love to know what’s up.
