  1. Big mess with 2 Admin User Profiles that are somehow merged together... Help!!!!!


    My Microsoft Admin acct somehow duplicated. One has my avatar, the other doesn't have an avatar. The one without the avatar is linked to Cortana. I checked the cmd prompt. I have 5 User accts all with the exact same #'s, but they end in 500 for Admin, 501 for guest, 503 for default, 505 for WDAG Utility & the one I'm on now ends in 1001. Keep getting I don't have permission errors. They all are branched out of my original Admin User Acct. I can't delete the Advanced User Profile that doesn't even match me. I've tried to explain it to support, but it still hasn't gotten addressed. Stressed out, please help.

    :)

  2. I can't create a New User Profile that is Not Corrupt! Please Help!

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing in creating the new user profile on your device. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    As a work around, I suggest you to enable the built-in administrator account, log-in with the admin account to create a new user profile and check if you are able to check. This will let us know if the issue persists with user account or the operating system.

    Step 1: Follow the steps to enable Built-in admin account.

    Enable Built-in administrator.

    • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
    • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open
      Command Prompt
      .
    • Type the following command and hit Enter:
    • net user administrator /active: yes (Check for the spaces)
    4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.  

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done. 

    Step 2: Refer to the articles to create a test user account/ Microsoft account respectively.

    For Local account: Create a local user account in Windows 10

    For Microsoft account: Help with Microsoft account


    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of creating new user profile for further assistance.

    Thank you.
