Windows 10: Automatically generated account name is wrong person

I recently purchased a 2nd Windows 10 PC. The first Windows 10 PC I have has been continuously updated since the Windows 10 early release program. On my 1st Windows 10 PC, my wife Joanne's account was created as a local account, not associated to an e-Mail address. On the new PC I tried to create an account linked to her G-Mail account.


After completing our part of the process, Windows 10 created an account with my cousin Nancy's maiden name. I know its my cousin because of the uniqueness of our last name. While I know how to change the display name on Windows 10, there appears to be no way to fix the source of the Microsoft's name mix up. Eventually, I deleted the wrongly named account and created a local account for my wife on the new PC. Then I tried to share my MS Office subscription with my wife by sending her an e-Mail request to her G-Mail. Again, Microsoft applied the Office subscription share to my cousin. So, even if I change the display name on the PC, it still won't match the Office subscription share allocation or OneDrive files.


Based upon this experience, I question the security of anything stored on OneDrive.


Is there any way to fix these multiple problems that all seem to stem from the same corrupt Microsoft data association?

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Account name user name

Ok, let's review.

• Your Microsoft account aliases do not have the len address listed.
• Your Microsoft account name online is correct.
• You have a local account on the PC with the len address shown under "Your info".

I'm pretty sure you are signed in to an app with the len address, and is why you are seeing this.

As a test, click on the "Stop signing in to all Microsoft apps automatically" link below to see if that may remove it.

 

Weird account name and lost Administrator rights.


Well, I know what I would do.

Under Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, then under Other users, add someone else to this PC. Then click the link for "the person I want to add doesn't have an email address". Then click the link for "Add a user without a Microsoft account". Then enter a temporary user name like TempAdmin. When the account appears in the Other Users list, click on it. Click change account type. Make the temporary account an Administrator.

Log in as the temporary administrator account, and copy all the files you want to keep from both the Andrius folders under Users to the temporary account's folder. Then delete whatever Andrius users are listed under settings, accounts. Go back to the Users folders and delete any remaining Andrius folders in there. Reboot the computer, log in as the temporary administrator and recreate an Andrius account using the exact same steps you made the temporary account - you can convert it to a Microsoft account if you want later.

Then do the rest of the steps to copy all your files back and delete the temporary administrator account.
