Windows 10: Adminstrator account suddenly appeared out of nowhere

Hello,


So recently, I bought this new laptop Lenovo Legion and it came with windows 10 preinstalled. As everyone does, I made an account when I first turned on the laptop, and now after 3 months of usage i suddenly saw this "Adminstrator account" and I cannot delete it for some reason.


Both my user and the "Administrator" user are adminstrators with full control


I am sure that this account wasn't present before. I've updated windows multiple times lately as I used to postpone all updates due to internet connection issues.


What can I do to remove this account ?

Bree, having followed your advice, a second account named "Andrew Griffin" appeared in the list of accounts on the login screen. This disappeared when I reversed the step.

Brink, I didn't delete my account - it shows up as as "oem" in netplwiz.

Attached a is list of accounts and you'll see that the guest account is degraded - relevant?UserAccountDetails.txt

Thanks Bree. Now I've disabled it and the admin account login still appears at start up and I

notice that the account status is "degraded"

Thanks Brink. The account named "Administrator" is listed in netplwiz when I'm using that account.

Thanks Brink *Smile

Yes, my user account I normally is also an administrator account.

No and you'll see how netplwiz looks in my user account; the only difference when using it in the administrator account in question is that that account is listed, too.
