  1. Adminstrator username causing issues


    I recently forgot my account password and wanted to change it. The only way I know that works is by using command prompt's [net user <username> <password> command. The issue I have been running into is that my admin name contains a space so every time I type the command I get this result.Is there any way to change my account name or if there isn't is there any other way to change my password?I have access to my account because I know the PIN

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

  3. Username change caused serious problems

    Hello NavyLCDR,
    Thanks for your post - I was afraid of a HDD failure too... but it seems so strange on an eight-day-old
    laptop than has not been mistreated. Not impossible, of course.

    Anyway, now we have managed to re-install Windows 10, we will watch out for further issues, and should things continue going wrong, the shop has agreed to take the laptop back within the next three weeks, although they are now out of stock, and my daughter really likes it. Maybe it will be OK, though.

    Hello dalchina,
    OK, thanks for the warning!
    My daughter is just preparing to create a new disk image. She was getting quite paranoid, so she created another Username and User Account, and thus won´t use the old disk-image anyway.

    The Username change that triggered this whole issue was done following Microsoft´s indications using
    netplwiz. It was the single user/administrator name - there are no further users on the laptop.
    My other daughter suggested that the Username change caused this Win10 confusion, but there shouldn´t really be any HDD trouble caused.
    We shall see...

    Cheers,
    Van

    Windows 10 update: start up and sleep issues caused

    Dear Vijay,

    Thank you for your response: apologies for slow feedback.

    Regarding step 1 - doing a restore point : I tried this twice and twice it failed. Now, the date of the update that caused the issue (13/14 September 2019) has disappeared from the history list. Is there a way of finding it, still?

    Regarding Step 2- the list of updates installed: the two suggestions above do not seem to appear in the list in the window "Installed Updates".

    There are two updates listed for 13 September - Security Update for Adobe Flash Player and Security Update for Microsoft Windows.

    Could you advise what I might try next?

    Thank you so much.
