Connecting to SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio
The default server name from your screenshot is showing DESKTOP-6ECNPU1, not DESKTOP-6ECNPU1\matt, the latter is the user you are connecting into sql server with.

The sql server browser service is used to route the connection to the appropriate instance on the server. The default sql server instance is installed on port 1433. If you were to connect to a named instance, then the name will be translated to the port that the instance is running on, otherwise if only the machine name is specified you get routed to the default instance.

Based on your screenshot that installation is the default instance (because instance name is MSSQLSERVER), so if you only specify the name of the machine, you will be connecting
to that 2017 sql server instance you installed.
