Windows 10: Windows 10 issues with account, when there's no signs of hacking

Both on 1909 and recently, on 2004.

I think it happened recently with version 2004 and build 19041.631.

Randomly, but sporadically, on reboot, Windows 10 tells me that that there's a problem with my account and shows a fix button. The most recently, I had to enter my PIN after clicking on the "Fix" button on system-number-one.

Then it will be like nothing happened. Looks like a bug that's related to the bug I faced on 1909.

It appears to be a problem with mainly Windows users using a Microsoft account.

Looks like if you face a message like that and Windows shows the "Fix" button, makes you re-enter your PIN and you re-enter the PIN, then there's probably no further action required.

Marked as solved for now.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
