Probably using some AI to do fuzzy authentication or something. I had a window pop up like this on my work laptop for some random app it was checking for updates on but failed to authenticate for (just for that app, no other errors, hasn't popped up again since).

Alternatively,

Installed POP OS. Connect the Nintendo switch to my laptop using MTP. Double click the file folder. Crashes.

Decide to just reset to see if it would fix it. The laptop loops at the authentication screen infinitely. Used a PC to transfer files instead.

Reformat and install Fedora Workstation since Lenovo ships with it. Installed Anydesk and Rustdesk and Wayland is extremely laggy and the hot keys do not transfer to the remote computer.

I think my next step is to install an xorg OS.

I actually want a distro that I don't have to constantly fix.

It's been a while since I used Windows, but back then my company blocked the Store, so I couldn't install the Terminal through that. But it was easy to install through the released msix package - maybe you can install that through Winget?
