Windows 10: I am unable to login as local user with admin rights after Windows Update

Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045. Dell Vostro 7590 LaptopI received 3 Windows Updates KB5001716, KB5031356, KB5031224 on October 11. Prior to that, I would always log into my laptop as local user. After Windows update, when I login that same way, it says "The user name or password is incorrect. Try again." In the past, if I got that message, I would disconnect from the internet and login. I tried disconnecting from the internet but I get a message saying "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later." I also tried logging in with .\

admin rights keep disappearing!?!!

Hi guys,

I am actually having a problem at work that our IT department hasn't been able to figure out. I am supposed to be a member of the admin group. We are on a domain. The problem is that everytime I reboot the computer I loose my admin rights(no longer in the administrator group) and just become a normal user again. I have tried googling this and didn't get to many results.
I believe IT is just giving me local admin rights, not admin rights for the whole domain.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: It is on Windows XP Pro.

 

Local user disappeared frin login options after upgrade

Hi Zoee,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the issue. Here are my steps:

• I've uninstalled the last 3 updates (the ones from september):
  
  • however, they keep getting reinstalled:
    

• I've added two new users: one from the GUI, the other as you suggested in step 2:
  
  • They are listed under users;
    
• I've also booted in safe mode just to check.
  

I still have no way to login other than with the main account. No local users are available at login or when I go to start menu and click on my user.

Please advise

 

unable to login as admin

Unable to login as administrator

Have other user accounts but those do not have Admin rights.

Mine is Windows 7 Home basic version.

Help me reset my password and login to Administrator.

Thanks
