Backend error: failed to look up user from userid

upon installing tailscale on my second deviced (a laptop from work) i receive this error:

backend error: failed to look up user from userid: lookupUserPrimaryGroup: should be domain account type, not 5

I was never asked for a login.

I did try to:

  • reboot,
  • restart the tailscale service
  • reinstalled the application

but the error remains the same

is there anything else I can try?
