    Add users with same name for networking reasons. Now its all different


    It is my understanding that when shareing a drive on a windows 10 it will be helpful if I start a user account on each comptuer with the same name. However now creating a user account has become quite complex.

    As shown in this picture Its not like it used to be and I do not know how to creat a normal user account that is not a Microsoft account.
    New options have been added and its more complex. How do we add new user now ?

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
