Unknown name in the "Finder", shared

When I open the finder, I see an unknown name under the shared servers. A pic of a computer and the name "tc7210-dms" and I can see what it is or how to disconnect it.

Can someone help me?

On finder menu, what is "network" under locations and why is there something that looks like a PC? My iCloud is suddenly reloading and re-setting up on my iMac. No idea why. Im looking around my iMac on finder and noticed under Locations there is a Network which when clicked shows up as a PC. How to identify what it is and delete it? But more importantly, why is my iCloud suddenly gone and reinstalling itself on my iMac for no apparent reason? is my iMac compromised?

Odd shared device appearing In the Finder sidebar there's my router – fine – followed by a random device with an 8 figure alphanumeric – 2 letters 'wl' then a 6 figure number. I'm guessing this must be my wife's windows laptop but am a little concerned, however unlikely, that it could be someone accessing my computer. My Firewall is on and File Sharing in Systems Preferences is switched off so I'm pretty sure I'm safe but how would I find out what the device is? Could it be found on my wife's laptop? All help appreciated. Michael

Item found in "Login Items" after installing Ventura (kextload) - what is it? Kextload "from unidentified developer" found in login items. Anyone know what it is? I found the "Screen Sharing" app running in my dock, and don't know how it got turned on. Now I'm worried someone could have viewed my screen while I had a spreadsheet visible with all my account passwords. I see other things in login items that I am not sure about. Paragon NTFS for Mac, "sh from unidentified developer", "StandaloneUpdaterDaemon from unidentified developer".

It is a device on your local network. The reason it appears under Shared is that it is advertising sharing services.
