    Can't get rid of old email account for windows default/admin sign in


    Hello. my laptop was painfully slow and crashing, so I reset it and reinstalled windows. Initially, I had a business I was using the laptop for and used that email address to set it up. When I reinstalled it, I wanted to use the email address associated with a different business I own, but somehow it made the old email the default and admin account. I have tried adding the new business email as an administrator, but it still uses the old email and signs me in with it everywhere, and I have to log into everything manually with the email account I want to use. I want to get the old email com

    :)

    Mail app only working when signed in under Admin account


    Upgraded from Windows 7 about two months ago, but this just started a few days ago.
    Tried to read my email and found that I could not use the mail app when signed in under my User account. (previously worked fine.)
    If I sign in under my Admin account, the mail app works normally.
    I've tried deleting and reinstalling the mail/calendar app, and now I don't even have the icons to launch them- not even listed on the start menu, except when using the Admin account.
    Is there another way to launch or repair the app?
    Any suggested fixes?
    Don't want to keep having to sign in as Admin just to read my email.
    Thanks!

    How to change admin user account name?

    ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
    I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
    I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
    And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?

    Delete old email sign in address

    Hi,

    Difficulties verifying the old security details in your Microsoft account may result in errors canceling or removing the profile. For us to rectify the account removal concern, we'd like to verify the following information:

    • Where exactly are you prompted to sign in with the old email address?
    • Have you tried resetting the password for the old account to recover it?
    • Were you able to log in successfully on your account online?
    • Have you made any significant changes to your account prior to this happening?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

    Your reply is highly appreciated.
