Windows 10: HP defaults to a bogus microsoft account on startup

There is no "settings" tab or any way to change it. Only options are "wifi" "accessibility" and "power".

Windows 10 bogus logon account

I have a bogus Microsoft account showing as my default logon account. How do I remove it?

 

Lost my default user account

My default user account is not listed during startup; only the Guest account called Windows User is available.

Earlier, I was trying to find my Microsoft account, but don't think I was successful. I entered a password I had used years ago with the Microsoft Community, but it was incorrect. I'm not sure what I would see if I had opened my Microsoft account. I guess something happened.

I shut down and restarted my computer and to my surprise I was asked for a password. I don't recall what happened when I originally set up the computer, but would have eliminated the password, if possible. I fiddled around, not sure what to do, and accidentally selected Windows User when I started the computer again. Now I'm not asked, and Windows User is automatically used.

My default account is still on the computer. I started with Administrator privileges, and ran C:\WINDWS\system32>net user and it is listed as the default account (WDAGUtilityAccount is listed under the Default Account heading). Windows User is the guest account.

I attempted to use System Restore from the Windows User Account but it was off. Since it is a different account, it probably would not have helped.
Any suggestions? Jim

 

Bogus "Program" in Startup

Here I've chosen the Logon tab to simplify the view in Autoruns.
Notice that the name of startups in the task manager appears in the 'Name' column
The corresponding entry in Autoruns is in the 'Description' column

If 'Program' is in the Logon startup list clicking the Logon tab would make it easier to see.




Remember it is probably highlighted in yellow- right across the whole line shown by Autoruns.
The order is not the same as Autoruns groups these.

The command line view in task manager should be the same as Image Path shown in Autoruns:
