    Factory reset spawns multiple Administrator accounts


    Hi all

    Since I refreshed (factory restored) my win10 home laptop, it wants to creates admin accounts all by itself.

    This happens every 2 or 3 reboots, and the admin accounts appear at the logon screen.
    Before the refresh it booted to my log on. Now it boots to a list of accounts. First the inbuilt admin account appeared, which I tried to get rid of by the tutorial (net user administrator /active:no in elevated cmd).

    Sure enough after a couple of reboots it was back again. I tried leaving it and after a couple of bootups, another admin account appeared, this time with a user name and password (the inbuilt admin account didn't have a username, just password)

    Does anybody have idea what the heck is going on? (absolutely NOBODY else has access to my PC)
    Thanks
    D

    :)

  2. Someone has taken over admin of one of my computers, I bought a new one and it is hacked also!

    I do not know how to disable the administrator account but I have factory reset my computer and am using a different account.

    What is the name of that "another admin account" that appeared in addition to the usual built-in administrator?
