    Duplicate Sign-in options


    By repeating all these steps again I appear to have removed 2nd "me", however only by accepting my user name as " First Name, Surname". I have renamed all the folders etc to "First Name" only so why do I still have to sign in as "First Name, Surname"?
    Anything I'm missing here?

  3. Windows Live Mail duplicate contacts

    Hi Bruce,

    I understand that there are duplicate contacts in Windows Live Mail and I will be happy to answer your query.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to do a cleanup of contacts that are duplicated.



    • Open your Live Mail.
    • Click Contacts on the lower left corner of your page.
    • Click Clean up contacts on the Home Tab before your name, this will lead you to connect on your web page account.
    • Click Save.
    Alternate way to clean the duplicates.

    • Sign in to
      http://people.live.com
      .
    • Click Manage towards the top.
    • Click Clean up contacts.
    • Click Save and continue button.
    Hope the above information helps. Please reply to us with the status and we will be glad to help you further.

    Duplicate sign -in option

    Duplicate Sign-in options


    When I try to sign in after a re-start there are 2 of me, one of which says my password is incorrect (there isn't one at all) and then requires I amend my user name (adding my surname) to sign in, both get to exactly the same place and there are only 2 users in the system - me and my husband. Only I am duplicated. Neither of us wants to use a password to sign in and both are local accounts.
    I really want to get rid of the doppelgänger!!
    We have been able seemingly to get rid of it temporarily but when I re-start the computer again 2nd "me" is back.
    Tearing my hair out!!
    HELP!!
