Windows 10: Ghost Administrator

A few months ago a Windows 10 install got interrupted and a kind of "ghost administrator" appeared on my lock screen. The "GA" below my name, on the image doesn't work and doesn't appear in my list of users. I have full administrative privileges and I am the only user listed in Windows Settings but this has produced some strange phenomena that I cannot seem to correct. Every time I do a reboot now after an update it goes directly to the GA, and I get a series of errors messages saying that the Windows update has not worked. Rebooting doesn't correct the problem.

Hi Gary,

Sorry for the delay in response.

• What is the make and model of the computer?

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
