Windows 10: Sign in user missing

I was having some issues installing a program and to save time, I removed my admin password and made myself auto signing in first before the 2nd user....

i have now now resolved the program issue, but trying to change the user sign in back has been problematic.

I manage to get the 2nd user to sign in automatically without a password, but there is now No option for me to sign in...
when I try a function that requires admin rights it still asks for my password. If I go to user profile in control panel, when first I opened only the 2nd user is there, then when I click change another user it shows both accounts.

I tried deleting my account as there is nothing of importance, and recreated one with the same name, made no difference.....I used netplwiz to change the order and sign in requirements initially, but can't for the life of me get things back as they were.

could someone please help me

:)

 

Windows Store Can't "Get" Apps w/ dialog that says "Let's get you signed in"

Try to run SFC on your PC: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...er-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

Also try to use a different user profile to isolate, or try to sign out then sign in back on the same user profile.. If there's an option, try signing out on Windows Store the sign in back..

 

Sign-in Screen Background Picture Loss When Switching User Accounts

During switching users, via Start menu account picture icon, sometimes the desired account sign-in screen background picture (set to same as Lock screen) is missing in favour of the account Accent colour. Other functionality of the sign-in screen is unaffected.
Observed on i7 Dell XPS 15 laptop and i7 ASUS P9X79 motherboard PC with Dell U2711 monitor, running latest Win 10 version at 5 February 2017. At the sign-in screen, the missing background picture can be restored by changing the selection to another user icon
and then re-selecting the desired user icon. Experiments changing Lock screen pictures and animation settings made no difference.
