    How to create a new user without access to already installed software?


    I feel like this should be a simple thing to do, but I'm having absolutely no luck with it.I am running Windows 11 and currently have one user account set up as an administrator.I am trying to create a second account that does not have any access to software installed on my primary account, essentially one that can be set up from a blank slate.The reason for this is because I want to set up one "work" account and one "study" account. The personal account to have access to all of my games and media, and the study account to have access to the small list of software I need to do my studies.Is th

    http://www.portal2maps.net/browse-maps.html

  3. I can't create a New User Profile that is Not Corrupt! Please Help!

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing in creating the new user profile on your device. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    As a work around, I suggest you to enable the built-in administrator account, log-in with the admin account to create a new user profile and check if you are able to check. This will let us know if the issue persists with user account or the operating system.

    Step 1: Follow the steps to enable Built-in admin account.

    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)
    4. 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. 

    Step 2: Refer to the articles to create a test user account/ Microsoft account respectively.

    For Local account: Create a local user account in Windows 10

    For Microsoft account: Help with Microsoft account


    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of creating new user profile for further assistance.

    Thank you.
