    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 logged in a microsoft account of my friends, and now its linked to my windows account :(

    Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

    That's a great idea, I can just create a link to the one drive folder on my primary account!
    Will the files still sync if I'm logged in, but not active, and will the be any noticeable effect on performance?

    No Problem found. Also the suggestions from Microsoft didnt helped.
