Windows 10: New stray account appeared after replacing CPU

Hello everyone.
I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 2700X to a Ryzen 5800X. All is well except for the appearance of a stray account on my login screen. It has the same name as my account which is my only account. And only one account shows up in the User Accounts settings. The stray account causes a delay in startup, but once I click on my normal account, I can enter my PIN and get right in. How can I get rid of the stray account?

cpu upgrade - w10 wont boot

Replacing disks is no problem.

In my experience, replacing motherboards almost always results in crashes.

You could run this experiment:

• Create an image of your System partition. Store in on an external USB disk.
• Insert the new CPU.
• Install Windows. I bet that it will work flawlessly.
• Restore the image you created in Step 1.
