    2nd User Account is hidden


    I've purchased a new Dell XPS Desktop and have gone through the setup process. I've set my self up as a Local User which is all fine. Following on from this I've added my wife as a 2nd local user with a standard account, but when I sign out or re-boot my PC her account isn't there. Can anyone help please.

    :)

    2nd User Accounts for Guests

    How do I add a picture (NOT A PHOTO) in Windows 10 to a Guest, any Guest USER ACCOUNT or the 2nd User Account that I have set up for my guests in case they need to use my laptop to go on the internet?

    I'm not asking about my, User Account, in which I have inserted a photo of myself.

    Please provide a step-by-step solution if possible.

    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.
