  1. Missing Account


    Hello,My account is missing when trying to log in to my laptop. I am only able to log in through my partners account using her information. I'm worried my stuff is gone. It seems like something went wrong at some point. I don't have an option to add a new account or switch accounts. My laptop still recognized my fingerprint to log in but won't unlock. Just says 'Hello User' and stays on my partners log in screen. Not sure what I could do to help my situation.

    :)
