Windows 10: delete user from login

My PC attempts to log in an old profile on startup. Somehow, it recognizes a password that I did not enter and displays a password login error wrong password. After several seconds, the login screen allows me to select a different profile. I choose my profile and login. The entire process takes a few minutes to login.


I have attempted to remove the old profile from the user screen, however, the name still remains and my only options are to allow the user or "block." When I block and restart the machine, nothing has changed. When try to delete the profile from the control panel Win+R/User Accounts/Manage Accounts/Delete accounts, the profile is gone. Yet, the login issue remains.


I am running the newer version of Win 10. Any advice?

Want to DELETE second User Account at login

Hello, I'm using a Windows 10 PC and I am the only user. My administrator username is "John Doe".
Recently when I start the PC, I get 2 options for user login-"John Doe", where I click to enter my password and a second option to use a PIN, both have EXACT name "John Doe". The first option asks for a Password- it does not accept any PW I've associated with the account. When selecting the second option, the PIN box appears. I am then able to get to my desktop screen.

I want to do two things: 1) Delete the account that asks for the PW 2) Automatically login and go to my desktop screen. When I go to Control Panel user settings to delete it, there is only ONE account that shows. I've tried at least 6 solutions suggested, none have worked. Probably need step-by-step instructions. Thanks in advance.

 

Removing deleted user account from login screen

Hi Macheal,

Thank you for posting your queries in Microsoft Community.

We are sorry to know that you have issues with the account.

Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

Are you logging in using a Microsoft account?

If you are using an administrator account, I suggest you to delete the other user accounts once again and check if that helps.

Method 1: I would have you perform the steps-

• Login to your default account.
• Click on the “Windows logo” and type “User Accounts”.
• Now, select “Settings” and then select the “User Accounts” icon.
• Click on “Manage another account” and then select the user account that you want to delete.
• Click on “delete the account”.
• Depending on whether you want to “Keep the files” or “delete the files” choose the appropriate option.
• You can delete the other accounts similarly.

Note: Once deleted, the user accounts cannot be recovered. Make sure you back up any data if required.

Method 2: If the issue persists, create a new user account and check if it helps.

Note the above steps are also valid in Windows 10.

login user corrupt

Hi, I am Van. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be glad to help you today.

To start you might want to verify first if the login account is visible on the list of Users. Please follow the step below

1. Open file explorer then right-click This PC> select manage.

2. On Computer Management choose Local User and Group in the left panel then select Users.

Kindly see on the lists if the name of the account is there.

To check your user profile.

1. Right-click again on This PC then select properties.

2.On the Advanced tab. Click setting under User Profiles.

3. Verify the list of profiles is correct on the list.

As I have analyze your concern. If you delete a login account it will automatically delete its user profile, because your login account is the main component of your user profile. If you delete it, all associated with the account is also deleted including the
profile. but you can delete a user profile without deleting your login account. See the link below for additional reference.
