Windows 10: Can't create a new user using a previou email account, help!

I had an email account for a local user in windows 11, I change the email account to another one since I use that user for work related things, now I try creating another user using that other email address I used before and it gives me an error "*** Email address is removed for privacy *** has already been added to this device" and it does not allow me to create the new user.

Am unable to create a new user. Accounts -> Add someone else to this PC options is not working to create a new account.

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.

 

after creating new user account the app store doesn't work

I have tried this several times with the same result:

create a new user account with local log-in

when returning to my own user account a number of my store apps will not run

none of the suggested fixes help:

• wsreset.exe fails [remote procedure failed]
• entering several command lines at a system prompt fails [the entered location cannot be found]
• deleting the newly created user account

the only way I have found to fix this is to restore the computer to a previous time.

please don't suggest I try a bunch of the usual procedures to fix the store

this is something specifically to do with opening the new user account. is this an known issue?
