Windows 10: Defaultuser0 after resetting my computer

I had some problems with my computer so I decided to reset it to factory settings. After Windows installed on its own, my computer got into the loop Just a moment. I forcefully turned the computer off and turned it back on. Then it went out of the loop smoothly, but I was left with an account defaultuser0.

Then I decided to install Windows 10 from a USB stick. Again, it went without problems and it even let me decide choose language and other things on my own, until Just a moment loop. No matter how long I left my computer in the loop, it didn't finish it. So I turned off my computer and it again left me with the defaultuser0 account.

Hi, I did a clean install of windows 10 and it cleaned everything but all I get now is #defaultuser0'? .

Hi Gerry,

Defaultuser0 is a profile that is being created after a clean install or reset, and this has been reported as a small bug on Windows 10.

To remove defaultuser0 completely, follow the steps below:

• Boot your computer in safe mode.
• Once in safe mode, press Windows key + R.
• Type lusrmgr.msc and press Enter.
• Click on Users folder.
• Right-click on defaultuser0 and select Delete.
• Close the lusrmgr window.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
