Windows 10: Cannot log into my main account for windows, the only option for the login screen is my...

The backup has admin privileges, and my main account is still in my files since I checked it and the registry. When I'm in the log in screen, no other accounts show up on the bottom left, and so I'm forced to log into my alt account. Unfortunately, this means all my downloaded files are not accessible and that my accounts for my apps have all been logged out, Plus any settings I had are gone, so if I could get help to recover the account that would be wonderful.

login screens

goto CONTROL PANEL/ USER ACCOUNTS then you have to remove all the other accounts except for the one you logon with....then restart...it should bypass the login tho it will still show the screen for it...it will continue to load windows...good luck*Rockout :rockout:



edit:: it asks for a login when there are more then one accounts..or if you set a pw to your login name...

 

Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
   
2. Then click Language preferences.
   
3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
   
4. Click the "Region" option
   
5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
   
6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
   
7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
   
8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)
   

I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

Hope it will help you, too!

 

Login screen - notification of accounts already logged in?


In Windows 7, when you were already logged into a Windows user account.....
or if your PC went to the login screen upon sleep or hibernate.....
it was easy to tell that there was an account already logged in.

In Windows 10 that language on the login screen does not exist or at least is not on by default.

Am I missing something? Anyway to turn on some kind of notification?
