  1. i am the only admin on the computer and now after a single restart i am a guest account.


    this issue is driving me insane, it is a similar issue as described in this threadThe only account on my computer is a "guest" So therefor I cannot - Microsoft Community. but it is on windows 11. on top of that i have tried everything that i can. but all the options that work need admin perms. on top of that the family and other users tab and the other users tab is missing and i can only login as my bugged account. so far i have tried: registry editing my account to be an admin and or trying do enable the built in admin. re-registering all windows apps. adding an admin via the recovery bios

    :)
