Windows 10: My Windows 11 SYSTEM account is being blocked by security!

I have recently encountered 2 issues in which my system Win 11 Home laptop has not been able to complete a task due to the inability of the SYSTEM account to access my Documents folder.In one case, scheduled backups using Macrium Reflect software failed because the system couldn't read the definitions file, stored in my Documents folder. This took me a while to track down, but once I looked at the Effective Access of the SYSTEM account for that directory and saw all red "x"s I figured it out.

Hi Courtney,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

• Is the child account signed in as a local or a Microsoft user account?

I suggest you to check the Firewall settings on the system.

Steps:-

• Block the app from Recent Activity.
• Press “Windows Key + X” and select Control Panel.
• Go to System and Security and select Windows Firewall.
• Click on “Allow an app through Windows Firewall”.
• Select Firewall Settings and check the status of the app there.

Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

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:

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
