    Extra User


    I have recently installed Windows 10 home 64 on my computer. When I open C:\users I find there are two, but when I go to CP User Accounts it shows only one. The extra user is causing minor issues when installing programs and I would like to delete it but if it doesn't show up in CP User Accounts how can I.

    Thanks

    :)

    Extra user account!

    I have a strange user account problem with Win 10. I have one admin account via a Microsoft account, and a local use account (only two accounts on one PC). But when I start the computer it defaults to a third account I never setup! Looking under the accounts
    I only see the two I have setup. I am not able to find a way to delete this third mistery account. I recognize the name so it must be a reminant from Windows 7 I upgraded from.

    Any ideas how to find and remove this account that the computer defaults to at logon?

    Extra user account!

    Thank you and I tried it but didn't remove the unwanted account. My extra account is not an Admin account rather a user account. Any ideas where that may be coming from? It also defaults to that account when I turn on the PC and asks for my password! Very
    strange and irritating.
