Hi,I just reset windows 11 home but kept my personal files. Now every time i turn on my pc there's defaultuser0 alongside my own account at the login screen. I want to remove this user.when I use command prompt net user /delete defaultuser0 it says no user found. wanted to see if there are any other options before going to regedit and using the method mentioned here. When I check C:\Users\ the defaultuse0 folder is not there.Please if someone could help that would be fantastic.All the best.

DefaultUser0 still showing in my login screen

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the DefaultUser0 account still showing up on your login screen. Here are some steps you can try to permanently delete the account:



1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

2. Type in "net user DefaultUser0 /delete" and press Enter.

3. Restart your computer and check if the account is still showing up on the login screen.



If the account is still showing up, you can try the following steps:



1. Open the Registry Editor as an administrator.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.

3. Look for the key that corresponds to the DefaultUser0 account (it should start with "S-1-5-21-").

4. Delete the key.

5. Restart your computer and check if the account is still showing up on the login screen.



Please note that editing the registry can be risky, so it's important to be careful and make a backup before making any changes. If you're not comfortable with editing the registry, I recommend seeking assistance from a professional.

Windows 11 Defaultuser0

After a Windows update the defaultuser0 profile showed up on my laptop. I deleted the user profile from the accounts tab in settings but defaultuser0 still tries to sign on upon restart/reboot and stays on the sign-in screen despite the account being removed from the list of users.
How do I get rid of defaultuser0?
