    New computer setup gone horribly wrong


    On setting up of a new computer with W11 I typed the wrong domain for the yahoo email account. I typed .com instead of .fr. Realising my mistake I cancelled the creation of the Microsoft account and began again using the right domain. On completion I shut the computer down. When I restarted it requests a password for the wrong domain! Why does it do that A Bug comes to mind but what can I do? I'm locked out.

    Windows Setup Gone


    Hello! I started downloading Windows 10 yesterday morning and it took all day to download (simply because my internet was lagging horribly) and finally it was done downloading and going through the rest of the steps. I got to the downloading updates part and it was taking quite a while and since it was late I just went to bed and decided to finish in the morning. Well when I got up this morning my computer had restarted sometime during the night and the Windows 10 setup is gone. *cry I opened the Media Tool thing and it just started downloading Windows all over again. Is there any what to open it where it left off or am I just stuck starting from scratch?? Thanks!

  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing your query in Microsoft Community. I would like to have some more understanding to the issue so that we can diagnose and work on the issue faster. Kindly provide me the following information:


    • Did you use the same Microsoft account to setup user account on this computer?
    I would suggest you to create a new local user account using the below steps

    Steps:


    • From the desktop press Windows flag key + R

    • And type netplwiz and click ok.
    This will open user account window click add and follow the onscreen instruction to create a new local account.

    Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.
