Windows 10: Pop-up windows to add accounts not showing up

I have multiple apps that have this issue.


Pop-up windows won't open in:

Bluetooth Settings when trying to add a device.

Adding an email account in Mail & Calendar.

Adding an account under Email & Accounts in Settings.

When trying to improve facial recognition for my Windows Hello webcam.


This seems to be a system-wide issue, clicking on any of these buttons literally does nothing!


I tried resetting my computer and it fixed it until installing the latest update, I think it broke my desktop...

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

The two-step verification emails show up in my inbox but I added a rule to mark the domain name safe a long time ago (verified that "techpowerup.com" is still in the safe sender list).
