    Cancelled my user account by mistake.


    Hello,

    My computer is running Windows 10 version 1903 (OS Build 18363.356)

    In my haste in trying to get rid of the annoying sign-in requirement, I ended up cancelling my wdagutility account. As a result, the computer signs in without the need of a password to the local administrator account. The part that is bad is the local administrator account has its own desktop. How do I get back the desktop I worked so long on in the account I cancelled like an idiot?

    :)
