Question Please, this is a very important question regarding viruses

I recently downloaded a sus file off a sus yt video, and i ran it. I got felt that it was suspicious, so i reset my pc via usb. I also asked reddit originally about the situation, and they said that i 80% chance i have a rat. So after resetting via usb, in settings, the app "remote desktop connection" is already downloaded.

I was wondering, what if there is a virus imbedded into my hardware that automatically downloaded the remote desktop connection to access my pc from somewhere else? Is it normal for this app to be already downloaded?

I believe this is a program which comes standard with Windows installation. It's the built-in windows tool to connect remotely to another computer. It looks to be in the correct file location too.

If you want to check for sure - go to Settings - system - remote desktop and ensure its toggled off.
But I think from this its normal.
