Windows 10: Issue with Account Password Prompt in Windows 11

Hello Microsoft Support,I am facing a critical issue on my Windows 11 laptop. I have two accounts, one standard and one administrator. The admin account is password-protected, but when I try to log in, the password prompt option doesn't appear. Instead, the standard account automatically opens without requiring a password.I have already tried troubleshooting by enabling safe mode, but the issue persists. Additionally, the Alt + Ctrl + Del option on the lock screen is not functioning.It's important to note that my admin account may have been linked to a Microsoft ID for login.I would appreciate

:)

  • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
  • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

 

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
