Windows 10: I created a "test" account which is incredibly slow-how come?

I needed to test out an issue, and the advice, on this forum, was "create test account." So I did, but without an email address. I had this folder with only four files in it, but it took about 3 minutes and counting for the green progress bar to finish the scan. End the end I just gave up and closed the window.

When I minimized a window, all the desktop icons had this weird "blank" look. I had to right-click Refresh to get the icons back to their normal appearance.

What didn't I do?

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

Unknown User Account created after upgrading to windows 10. It comes back if I delete it.

Original Title: Unknown User Account

Hello,

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I am seeing an account that I did NOT create. So I deleted it by going into Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > User Accounts > Manage Accounts then I click on the unknown user account and delete it. That said.... It
comes back. I have also followed the below suggestions from other posts and still does not seem to work.

Let’s try simple steps and check if the user account is detecting and try removing it.

• 
  Press Windows key + R, type netplwiz and press Enter.
  
• 
  Check if the user account is appearing on the list.
  
  
• Click on user account and click on Remove. (If user account appear on the list).

Please advise.

Thank you
