  2. Local user disappeared frin login options after upgrade

    Hi Zoee,

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the issue. Here are my steps:

    • I've uninstalled the last 3 updates (the ones from september):
      • however, they keep getting reinstalled:

    Local users f528a5b8-45e7-4aef-a9f2-9bf99fd6c850?upload=true.png


    • I've added two new users: one from the GUI, the other as you suggested in step 2:
      • They are listed under users;
    • I've also booted in safe mode just to check.
    I still have no way to login other than with the main account. No local users are available at login or when I go to start menu and click on my user.

    Please advise

    Windows 10 Add New Local User Fails with "Something went wrong" message

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing your query in Microsoft Community. I would like to have some more understanding to the issue so that we can diagnose and work on the issue faster. Kindly provide me the following information:


    • Did you use the same Microsoft account to setup user account on this computer?
    I would suggest you to create a new local user account using the below steps

    Steps:


    • From the desktop press Windows flag key + R

    • And type netplwiz and click ok.
    This will open user account window click add and follow the onscreen instruction to create a new local account.

    Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.

  4. Local users

    Mystery local user present with no account

    Good afternoon Andre,

    Thank you for your feedback, most appreciated. I tried both of your suggestions and the 1st5 user was not listed in either, just my original local user name was listed. I also tried to cut the 1st5 user folder from the C;/users listing and paste it to a
    thumb drive so I didn't loose it but I got this error code, 0x80070057, that prevents me from moving it saying the "parameter is incorrect". Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

    R/Confused

    Also when I got the error I mentioned above there was a Folder with a person's picture and MY local user name, not the 1st5 user name.
