  1. Duplicate Profile Error


    Hello!After an update, Windows 10 created an additional profile, which it always tries to login to when I turn on my PC. I cannot delete the profile as it does not appear in the list of profiles on my computer. Any idea how to adjust this?The additional profile seems to be my first name, while my actual profile is my first and last name.

    :)

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Duplicate Profile Error :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
