Windows 10: 2nd connection not asking me for right user name

I have been using Microsoft Remote desktop to connect to a particular PC.


I have the following connection defined:


PC name: [first PC].[PC domain]

User account: [account domain]\[first username]

Gateway: [gateway domain]


This has been working fine. Whenever I double-click to connect, it offers me the dialog:


Enter Your User Account


This user account will be used to connect to

[first PC].[PC domain] remote PC and [gateway domain] gateway


Username: [account domain]\[first username]

Password: [enterable password field]


I just added a second PC. I have the following connection defined:


PC name: [second PC].[PC domain]

User account: Ask when required

Gateway: [gateway domain]


I have also defined three user accounts for it:

[account domain]\[first username]

[account domain]\[second username]

[account domain]\[alias for second username]


When I try to make the connection, I get the following unexpected dialog:


Enter Your User Account


This user account will be used to connect to [gateway domain] gateway


Username: [account domain]\[first username]

Password: [enterable password field]


Where I actually expect:


Enter Your User Account


This user account will be used to connect to

[second PC].[PC domain] remote PC and [gateway domain] gateway


Username: [dropdown menu with choice of users]

Password: [enterable password field]


Additionally, if I change the second PC's settings so the specs are:


PC name: [second PC].[PC domain]

User account: [account domain]\[second username]

Gateway: [gateway domain]


and I attempt to connect, I still get:


Enter Your User Account


This user account will be used to connect to [gateway domain] gateway


Username: [account domain]\[first username]

Password: [enterable password field]


Where I actually expect:


Enter Your User Account


This user account will be used to connect to

[second PC].[PC domain] remote PC and [gateway domain] gateway


Username: [account domain]\[second username]

Password: [enterable password field]


Any idea how to fix this?

It appears that I have a 2nd user account why?

It's actually not a user account but if you go to the 'Users' folder, there are 2 folders listed, one for me (Bob), and a 2nd (a 5 character name). The 2nd folder contains many of my files. I did not create the 2nd user folder.
