  2. Admin account corrupted

    Hi Joshua,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    Try running the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
    tool which fixes the Windows corruption error if there are any. Follow the steps:

    • Press Windows+X.
    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the following command and hit
      Enter.
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    4. Now, try to create the new user account.

    If the issue persist, then I would suggest to perform a system restore.
    Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

    Refer the following Windows help article and to perform system restore.

    Restore from a system restore point

    Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.

  3. Admin account corrupted

    Hi Joshua.

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

    I suggest you enter into safe mode and enable built-in administrator and check.

    Step 1: Start computer in safe mode.


    • Type Settings in the search box on the desktop, select
      Settings.

    • Here select Change pc settings and then
      General.

    • Scroll down to Advanced startup, click
      Restart now.

    • Click on Troubleshoot, Advanced options, and Startup Settings.

    • Click Restart, select
      Safe mode and then press Enter.

    Step 2: Enable Built-in administrator.


    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press
      CTRL + Shift + ESC.

    • Click File >
      Run New Task.

    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges

    • Type CMD.

    • Type the following command and hit
      Enter:

    • net user administrator /active: yes
      (Check for the spaces)
    6. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type
    net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.

    Step 3: Create a new user account in Safe Mode and give admin privileges to the new account.

    Create a new user account

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/getstarted-set-up-accounts

    After creating new user account, press Windows key, type
    Mange your account
    and hit Enter. Click on Family
    and other users
    and select the newly created account. Now change the account type to
    Administrator.

    Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
