    Cannot log in with another user account

    I am having the same issue as here. I have reset a laptop with Windows Home 10 v1909 and cannot get it to log in with another user account. I am able to add a Work Microsoft account but I am unable to log in with it. I have to log in with my hotmail account. I have tried the fast switching bat file that was suggested and still the same issue.

  3. Add User Screen Comes Up Blank

    I noticed that someone else needs help with this. If you need the User Account screen for something more complicated, then I can't really help you, but, if you want to make a local user account, I did find a solution. If you're an administrator on your computer,
    then do the following steps:

    • Search "cmd" on your start menu.
    • The program that comes up should be Command Prompt. Right click on the program and select "Run as Administrator".
    • In the Command Prompt, put the following text in:
    • net user "[user account name here]" [optional password here] /add
    • Ex. net user "Abigail" 1234 /add will add a user account with the name Abigail and the password 1234
    If you want to log in with a Microsoft Account, just make a local user account, log into it, and then log into the Microsoft Account from there (assuming your login screens do work and it's only the add user screen that remains blank). Hope this helps!
