  1. Mysterious Owner Account - Appears upon start up, disappears after signing in or the sign...


    Upon turning on my PC for the first time, there was an account titled "Owner". I deleted it, thought the problem would be solved. However upon every boot-up of this PC, the mysterious account still pops up. You can't sign in as there is a User and Password security thing which you'd usually have at a shared network computer in schools and stuff, but there is no info for it. After a few minutes it disappears if the sign-in screen is left unattended. It also disappears upon logging onto one of the other accounts on the computer. But every time the PC is booted up, the same account is there and I'm unsure on how to remove it from the sign in selection. It's always the first account to pop up for sign in upon boot-up.

    :)

    Desktop appears from different signed-in account


    I noticed after a Windows 10 repair install that the desktop that appears isn't the desktop from the user account with which I'm signed in. In fact, that user account is no longer listed in user accounts, but its files still appear in C:\[my computer name]\Users. How do I get the correct desktop to appear?
