  1. Computer set up with a Microsoft account name that doesn't exist


    I'm setting up a new computer for the first time it has Windows 11. I was asked to enter my Microsoft account name - I entered my Google email by mistake. The system is asking me give my password for this and I can't because it doesn't exist as a microsoft account. It can't see an option to change my Microsoft account username. I'm stuck in a limbo. If I restart I return to the same screen. The only options I have on the screen are to log in to this incorrect account, or the shut down/ restart the computer. Does anyone know how I can change the Microsoft account?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Computer set up with a Microsoft account name that doesn't exist

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Computer set up with a Microsoft account name that doesn't exist :(
