Windows 10: Is it possible to merge windows 10 user into administrator account.

So I downloaded a game through the microsoft store and realized it doesn't show an icon when I pin it or while I'm playing. I know it's only a minor thing, but it really started to bother me so I tried to see if I could fix it, but to no avail.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

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
