    i have a different name on my log in screen


    a Person named Leo D.... name shows up in my log in screen. I just bought this computer a few days ago. the time is off and everything. I have tried to contact Microsoft about this but the phone doesn't work and when I do the online thing they tell me they have detected unsafe activity on my account and I cant make changes. The email is not mine either its a hotmail and the back up is a yahoo. I had my previous computer for about 7 years and nothing like this occurred before

    Win10 log-in shows different name at log-in that is not mine, nor recognized!

    On my Win10 PC, I am the only user, so did not set-up a password to access it/log-in. Five days ago, it requested I enter a password!! Followed the procedure to do so, and it has worked since then.

    This morning, the log-in screen showed a DIFFERENT NAME instead of mine for the account holder!! I have no clue who, what, where, how this happened. My daughter checked Facebook and LinkedIn, one showed the person in Australia, the other in South Africa!

    I immediately disconnected PC from network, and used the previously set-up password, and it allowed me in. This access and posting is from a separate, older PC (still running Win XP!! (which I miss!!))

    I checked the Account Info, and it listed:

    DIFFERENT NAME (an 'actual' name, that showed up on Facebook & LinkedIn)

    my xxx.gmail account name below it

    Administrator

    My concerns:

    • HOW did this happen?
    • is the machine compromised? (security scans are current and supposedly clean)
    • what is recommended resolution?
    • what precautions should be taken?

    Thanks!!

    i have a different name on my log in screen

    Black Screen after Log on


    So this is not a BSOD ? Have a Windows 10 disc or USB Flash Drive made ? How are you getting to task manager Ctrl.+Alt+Del ? Any cursor on screen ?
