Defaultuser0

Hi,

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the user account.

Defaultuser0 is a system user profile used when Windows is setting up, before any user accounts have been created. It should and usually does disappear after first reboot after installation. If the profile folder remains in Users folder, it's safe to manually
delete it.

If you don't need the user account, you can delete it.

Delete the 'DefaultUser0' folder from C:\Users\

Delete the 'DefaultUser0' registry entry from:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\

Click on each of the listed profiles and check the 'ProfielImagePath' entry to verify the associated profile.

Delete the user with net user defaultuser0 /delete

Thank you.

"defaultuser0" created on clean install of Anniversary Update

Wanted to report back my solution for upgrading to the Creator update since everyone was so kind to help with explanations and suggestions. You and AV were right, my Creator update install failed. It was not a defaultuser0 profile problem like the Anniversary
update. Since this topic is about the defaultuser0 profile, I will keep this short. What prevented me from installing the creator update was my desktop's Anatel PCI-e wireless card. Once this card was removed, I was able to clean install on a new hard drive
and upgrade my older drive with 1607 to 1703 without issues. I used the original dvd-iso and no other changes were made to the system. I did notice, yes indeed that there is a defaultuser0 profile listed under users. Thanks for all the feedback.
