  2. Issues with logging into Windows 10 and extra account is displayed at the login page. Windows 10 is automatically signed itn.

    Hi Thaker,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

    This issue might occur if there is change in user account settings.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to remove the extra account and also try to check mark on
    User must enter a user name and password to use this computer option
    in the user account settings.

    Step 1: I recommend you to check if k if the extra user account is present in the user account settings.

    1. First login with Microsoft Account.

    2. Then after logging into it, press Windows logo key +R Key.

    3. In the Run box, type "ms-settings:" without the quotes and hit on Enter Key. This opens Settings.

    4. Select Accounts > Your account >Family & other users (or Other users, if you’re using Windows 10 Enterprise).

    5. Under Other users, select Add someone else to this PC.

    6. Check if another user account is listed under it.

    7. If another user account is listed, then click on it and the select Remove.

    Step 2: I suggest you to make change in how user is logging into the computer and to automatically login to the computer. Check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows Key + R Key.

    2. Type “netplwiz” without the quotes in the run box and hit on
    Enter Key.

    3. Check mark on User must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

    4. Click on Apply and click on
    Ok
    .

    5. Then restart your computer and check the issue.

    Please get back to us with an update on issue with extra account, we will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
