  1. I can't change my username properly. Is this a bug or...?


    Used English in hope for a faster response, sorry.I can't change my username properly in Windows 11. When I enter control panel and change username from there, it works and doesn't work simultaneously. When I enter C:/Users/, there's still my very first username in Cyrillic, which causes issues in a game. Audio doesn't load because of the Cyrillic username... That's why I want to switch to English Ok, so username is in Russian, but when I enter the folder, in a search panel, my CHANGED/NEW Eng username appears. That's why I said it's both in Russian and English, seems to be corrupted??

    :)
