    My main user account has screen going dark then on again every second


    I was working, then this condition began. The screen goes dark, then lights up again about every second. I tried restarting the computer several times but the issue keeps coming back. I can log in to the admin user account on this computer, and the problem does not show up, but when I log in again to the main account, the flickering starts again. I have tried shutting down the computer, removing the power plug before restarting, that has not helped. How can I fix this?Windows 10 Pro21H1

    Want to DELETE second User Account at login

    Hello, I'm using a Windows 10 PC and I am the only user. My administrator username is "John Doe".
    Recently when I start the PC, I get 2 options for user login-"John Doe", where I click to enter my password and a second option to use a PIN, both have EXACT name "John Doe". The first option asks for a Password- it does not accept any PW I've associated with the account. When selecting the second option, the PIN box appears. I am then able to get to my desktop screen.

    I want to do two things: 1) Delete the account that asks for the PW 2) Automatically login and go to my desktop screen. When I go to Control Panel user settings to delete it, there is only ONE account that shows. I've tried at least 6 solutions suggested, none have worked. Probably need step-by-step instructions. Thanks in advance.

    Dark screen on the user account login page

    ---Original Title: dark screen---

    Toshiba Encore WT-10 A 32 Tablet

    Windows 10 Home Edition Version 1511.

    I prefer to boot my tablet to "Lock Screen" and have configured it to do so.

    Every time I reboot or awake my laptop from sleep mode it shows Lock Screen pictures and I need to scroll the picture up to go to Desktop, but when I scroll it up it goes to a "Dark Screen" instead, and I have to click on the screen to go to Desktop.

    Is there a way to resolve this problem and avoid this extra step?

    Any help appreciated.

  4. My main user account has screen going dark then on again every second

    Unknown second user account


    I took the free upgrade to Windows 10 about a week ago. An unknown second user has started appearing on the password log-in screen. It has the name 'smmosbvjntf'. It is easily removed from the user account box but usually reappears on the log-in screen within 24 hours.

    I also get a pop up from Tweakbit which wants me to use it to clean up my computer. I'm ignoring that.

    I subscribe to Eset and have scanned my laptop several timesusing the Eset scan and have come out with a completely clean bill of health.

    Any suggestions of how to rid myself completely of this unknown second account user?
