    I can't find my user account


    I've been using my Windows 10 desktop for some time and recently I created another user account that doesn't require a password. Today when I opened it, I couldn't find my first account. At first, I thought it got deleted but when I went to the setting it required the administrator's username my first account and asked for the password. So, it shows that the account is still there, but I can't find it.

    :)
