The possible reasons :

  1. Deleted user: The SID corresponds to a user account that was deleted from the system.
  2. Domain account: The SID belongs to a domain account, and local queries won’t retrieve it.
  3. Corrupted account: The user account might be corrupted or misconfigured.
  4. Local vs remote account: The SID is for an account that exists on a remote machine or is not part of the local system.
  5. System settings: System restrictions or policies prevent accessing certain user details.
