  1. multiple user accounts


    I am having issues with adding a second user account to my pc.


    Every time I log back in to my account administrator after the other user has been logged in, I have multiple issues. They seem to be caused by changes to settings, though the other user does not change other settings, even when she is logged into her account on her own pc.


    Issues that seem to be settings related:


    Mouse settings are dramatically different and do not change back when I go in as admin and attempt to change them. They seem to correct, though after several start-ups reboot.


    Settings in Chrome browser are changed with the most obvious being video playback. The fix seems to be going into settings and turning off hardware acceleration.


    On Startup, Continue where you left off is turned off when I always have it turned on.


    Glitchyness Subjective I know, but my pc just doesn't function as smoothly. there are more frequent and longer delays between initiating an action like opening a browser or WORD, and there is more flickering in general as if video output/rendering is affected.


    Everything is up to date including Windows 10, video drivers, browsers, apps, virus protection only have Windows Defenders and Malware. Again, I had no issues with my pc until I added a second user account. After I work on getting things better again, it is all undone the next time the other user logs in.

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
