    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown I have 2 Windows 11 accounts on my desktop is there a way to combine the accounts into one? :(

    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:

    Combining Accounts.. I have two accounts.. may I combine them?

    There is no way to combine them. You can backup the files from one account, restore in the account you want to keep, then discard the account.

    Step 1:

    Step 2: Make sure the account you decide you want to keep is an Administrator.

    open Start > Settings > Accounts > Family and other people

    Select the account

    Click Change account type

    Choose Administrator then click Next

    Step 3: delete the old account, log into the account - open Start > Settings > Accounts > Family and other people

    Select the account

    Then click Remove
