    PC name reverts back automatically


    I renamed my laptop from "Administrator" to my name i.e. "MichaelAndreas". After restarting the laptop, sure it is the name has changed to "MichaelAndreas", but if I restart it for the 2nd time, it reverts back to "Administrator". How so?Additional information, my laptop is HP Zbook Power 15.6 inch G9 Mobile Workstation PC.

    :)
