Windows 10: Account added via "Control Panel > User Accounts > Add a new user in PC settings" vs...

Hi thereIn Windows 11, what is the difference between a user account added via "Control Panel > User Accounts > Add a new user in PC settings" vs "Settings > Accounts > Email & Accounts"?Thank you.

:)

 

User Account Settings

Let us create a new administrator account to check if the same thing will happen. Here are the steps:

• Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage another account > Add a new user in PC settings > Add someone else in this PC.
• Enter the credentials needed.
• Click the account that you have made and then click the Change account type option.
• Choose Administrator and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Deleting User Accounts

If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

 

PC user name is not in the users accounts in control panel

Oh yes...that nightmare (I got rid of the MS acct). I've been told there is a difference between account name and user name. I never knew this. That being said, I know where to look at the User accounts in control panel...user accounts (here it is ABCD). Well this implies it is the user id...but evidently not, because on the C drive in (C:\Users)...this directory is not the same ..the directory is ABCDZ. Then you have control panel, System ...PC name is ABCD-PC as is the full name..

so? what is the proper lableing of these?

1) Control panel, system computer name and full name? is this the account with the -PC addendum?
2) Control panel, "USER" accounts...the name implies THIS is the user, but it is ABCD..the account name.
3) in explorer, the C:\Users\ABCDZ? This is obviously my user id.
4) the lock screen comes up with ABCD...again the acct name.

Where would you edit the user id (ABCDZ) is not in control panel, user accounts?
