    netplwiz not changing user account name

    I'm logging into my Win11 (version 21H2) with my MS account. I noticed it created a user account folder for me:

    C:\users\amagh

    My typical usernames are 'amagha'

    I went into netplwiz and changed the account name to my preference:

    I restarted my machine.

    However, when I go into User Profiles, the account appears as I'd like it to, but when I open a command prompt, I see the initial (abbrivated) username:

    How can I get Windows to recognize the username change and have it reflect correctly in the command prompt?

    netplwiz not changing user account name

    Thanks. I just tried that and after creating a local account with the username 'amagha', then logging back into the MS account, there's no change to the folder in C:\Users:
