  1. I now have files in 6 different user accounts. what is going on?


    I recently created a Microsoft account to access my Microsoft accont online.

    Then in order to sign into my personal computer w/o having to sign in with my password every time, I created a "windows" account on my computer SEE "If you find you can't log into Windows 10, please follow case 2 to bypass Windows 10 login without password. It would just guide you to remove Windows 10 forgotten login password with password reset disk or powerful Windows 10 password removal tool. Nothing would be changed on your computer except the Windows 10 login password.If you find you can't log into Windows 10, please follow case 2 to bypass Windows 10 login without password. It would just guide you to remove Windows 10 forgotten login password with password reset disk or powerful Windows 10 password removal tool. Nothing would be changed on your computer except the Windows 10 login password"

    however, I now have 6 accounts on my computer! :

    1. Administratror 108 MB. 2. {username} 80 GB, 3. user myfirstname.namename of my computer 53.8 GB , 4. DefaultAppPool 0 MB, 5. Public 50.9 MG, 6. Default 2.5 MB.

    Is this NORMAL?

    Can I delete any of these account w/o losing data?

    When I delete User myfirstname:name of my computer, some data went away, which I restored from my back up disc.

    All this is very confusing to me.

    Can anyone walk me through all this?

    ThX.

    Dave

    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

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    I now have files in 6 different user accounts. what is going on?

    user accounts

    Thank you for your response. If you've created a new profile and you have admin privileges, try these steps on how to transfer files from one user to another and see if it will work for you:

    • Open File Explorer and go to C:\Users.
    • Look for the account you want to copy the files from.
    • Select the folders/files you want to copy, right-click on it and select Copy.
    • Go to the new user account folder and paste the folders/files you copied.
    • Repeat the steps if needed.

    Give us an update on how it goes.
