Windows 10: How to fix Temporary Account so I can Sync up My Windows Account.

I restarted my computer today as an update was needed. But now windows is telling me I don't have a regular Microsoft account that Instead I have a temporary account. Yet I had a Microsoft account and it synced before the update. How can I make my account not be temporary or make my computer understand I have a Microsoft account and that I should be able to sync up. Included a screenshot showing how the sync option says that I have a account.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
