    Win10 multiusers, can't log admin account, user account changed as admin

    OS: Win10 Familly

    I have created a new admin account - the last one - starting with p.

    I observe the following:

    The first admin - the first on the list, starting with A - is the one I can't log in, but can run apps with its password.

    I see that although both are administrator passwords, the first one is HomeUsers while the newly created is Utilisateurs (Users in English).

    • So they are different, what about UAC???
    • Should I modify admin p from Users to HomeUsers so that it's identical to admin A??
    • When it'll be done with p, can I delete admin user A without consequences?

      Thanks

    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

    My win10 did an auto update and when it rebooted the Admin/User account is missing with 2 unknown guest accounts. I logged in with admin password and it tried to boot but message states that an error has occurred hit enter and it reboots again.
