    Incorrect UserName


    Hello, I installed Windows 10 last May and it choose the first 5 letters of my Hotmail username. I tried to modify that from User Account but then it kind of created a second layer of user name: i.e. I have C:\Users\cdnhe and I also have a folder with the other name in my Windows Explorer just above This PC folder. How can I correct that and have only one UserName, the One I Want? Thank you

  3. Username or password incorrect


    I've previously run netplwiz from the command prompt to disable the sign in process in Windows 10.

    Incorrect UserName [​IMG]


    Which worked fine in build 10049 but in 10158 & 10166 I now get this error message


    Incorrect UserName [​IMG]


    I don't understand how this message can appear as no password has been entered at this stage.
    Pressing OK, or waiting 2 minutes results in this screen

    Entering the PIN or password from the sign-in option continues the login process.
    Apart from starting again from scratch, any ideas on how to correct this.

    Username or password incorrect


    I agree that the lock screen is useless, pressing any key raises it to reveal your email!
    They should hide the email!
    You can, however, login in to OneDrive and edit your moniker and create an alias email, which doesn't exist and is not verified.

    (I blurred it anyway even though it's a BS email)
