Windows 10: How do I make a new user on a computer that I do not have any access to my ONLY user...

I had to reset my PC and I don't have access to my only profile/user on my PC. It doesn't let me sign in saying there is a failure with my user profile service and is not on my devices for my Microsoft account either anymore. I don't know how to make a user to use from a log in screen or anything. It's an Asus PC from 2017 that runs Windows 11. I cannot access the screen for settings or anything as this is my sole user on the account. I cannot stress this enough, I can only access the log in screen and nothing else on the PC.Please help me.

:)

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

Hi Judy

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. .

I would suggest you to follow the method give below and check.

Method 1: I suggest you enter into safe mode and enable built-in administrator and check with the status of User profile service.

Step 1: Start computer in safe
mode.

• 
  Type Settings in the search box on the desktop, select
  Settings.
  
• 
  Here select Change pc settings and then
  General.
  
• 
  Scroll down to Advanced startup, click
  Restart now.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshoot, Advanced options, and Startup Settings.
  
• 
  Click Restart, select Safe mode and then press
  Enter.
  

Step 2: Enable Built-in administrator.

• • 
    Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open
    Command Prompt.
    
  • 
    Type the following command and hit Enter:
    

• 
  net user administrator /active: yes
  (Check for the spaces)
  

d. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.



Method 2: Try to create a new user account (Microsoft account) and check if you are able to access the content from your computer

user files are accessible to all users

I am setting up a new computer. I am set up as administrator (local account) and I have added my kids as Other users (local account-not administrator). (I do not want to set them up as a Microsoft accounts).

The new computer has one (small) hard drive for storing the operating system and a large hard drive for storing data. All user accounts were set up on the small drive. I changed all the user accounts to the other drive by following steps on Microsoft to
move the folders under folder properties, doing it folder by folder-documents, then music, then pictures, etc. for each user. All the files in the various user accounts are synced (with a local copy) with Dropbox.

That seemed to work except that all of user files are accessible to all users. If you look on the folder properties for the folder, they all say they aren't shared but they are.

I am trying to fix this by going in to folder properties and changing the security settings. Under the security settings, the following groups have access to my administrator folder: Authenticated Users, SYSTEM, [my user account], Administrators, Users.
Under Advanced, I disabled inheritance for the user account folder. Then I delete the access for user. That blocked access for other users to my some of my user folders but not others. (I primarily care about access to my files.)

Any suggestions for fixing this?
