    Rename User Designation/File Windows 10


    I missed a letter when I was setting up my system. As a result, the user file and other things such as the designation in command prompt are not spelled correctly. I've attempted to follow steps to rename my user account or other such online guides, but this only allows me to modify the name of my account on the system rather than the designation I made the mistake in.

    :)

    This is a "design flaw" not a bug or a hardware issue; as stated it's not just happening on Surface Windows devices.

    Also a design flaw is the inability to rename Quick Access shortcuts; even dragging a renamed shortcut from the folder makes the name the folder it shortcuts to.

    Poor design by Microsoft; negatively affects users in multiple ways.

    Is there any way to change the user folder windows 10?

    No there is no way to rename the user folder in Windows 10, this is a bug in Windows 10, if you change the user account name, the folder does not get renamed. The only way is as you suggest and create a new user account and copy your files over to that user
    , then delete the old user account.

    Rename User Designation/File Windows 10

    I guess your question is 'how do I rename my user profile folder?'

    There's no easy simple or completely safe way to change that.
    You will find a number of threads on this forum on this topic.

    Your best approach is to create a new user account.

    You will find some guides on doing this on the internet- if you attempt that make sure you have adequate disk image backups (e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) - we strongly and repeatedly recommend the routine use of disk imaging).
