    Another account was added to my computer that I don't want and it's messing with my settings


    When I start my computer, it leads to the account sign in page but automatically tries to sign in on an account I never created. Then when I click my actual account I use and sign in, all my desktop icons are scattered all over the place. I went into the settings to manage accounts but only 1 account even shows up the one I use, so I can't even delete the other account. I also tried to manage my accounts under user accounts in the control panel and it's the same thing. I could really use some help with this one.

    :)

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    stuff that don`t work

    The problem with the messed up keyboard is now ok, I can write normally.

    But, the problem with non working pin and unpin from task bar, the right mouse click don`t work on it at all - still stays, as well as non working New notifications - I click and nothing happens. Can you fix that all?
