  1. I have tried to change my profile name on C:/users/profile


    Hi!My profile name was sauro and after clean installionation everytime I login with my microsoft account it becomes my default administrator profile, I tried to change it but seems I miss the part where I should put the Profile path - Logon script and Home Path, and the programs which were installed from store give me this error.My windows is 11 and original.

    Need help with changing name of user profile folder

    I would like to change the name of the user profile folder. I have found and tried a few methods including one from Microsoft forums. None of them worked. I kept getting something about my User needing to sign out and back in again that there was a problem, so I would sign out and back in again and it didn't work. I think the reason is because Windows created a TEMP user and would log me in under that so there would be a folder named C/User/TEMP and still the original named folder of C/User/myuserfolder.

    I found this on the forums here: Change Name of User Profile Folder in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    The instructions are very similar to what I have tried. In the above post John W used safe mode. Do I need to go through all the steps again as listed in the post and then go into safe mode, or can I just use safe mode to change the folder name?

    Also, are there newer instructions for how to do this with updates to Windows since the above thread was posted over a year ago?

    Thanks in advance.
