  2. Login screen Windows 10

    Hi Harold, you were right.

    After I reboted the laptop the problem reappears.

    But I think there is a pattern: the duplicated mail address and gone user name issue happens when I joined a H>omegroup.

    Same thing happened with my HTPC,, user name was present until joining the Homegroup.

    I also tried to use the nemtplwiz utility to no avail. There seems to be something in the Homegroup joining procedure that clears the display name of the MS user account.

    Hope someone finds a clue.

    Regards.

    Mirko

    Computer can't leave homegroup after W10 upgrade. Thinks it isn't in it.

    On the other 2 computers, both computers detect that Accounting is part of a homegroup.

    Going through the wizard, it asks for the password for the homegroup on Accounting.

    But as I mentioned, on Accounting I can't view, print or exit from that homegroup.

    Note that I tried the homegroup troubleshooter and found no issues.
