Windows 10: removing shadowing on local accounts.

I've read a few posts here on removing desktop text shadowing but I don't seem to be able to nix it on local accounts. No problem with the admin accounts.

When I access "Advanced system properties", on my way to Performance settings, I'm required to login as an administrator. Is that right? Shouldn't a local normal user be able to change his desktop text rendering?

The changes made (under the administrator's login) 'take' as you can revisit the screen after a logoff or reboot. These shadows will not just DIE!

Thank you.

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:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
