  1. Stuck on defaultUser0


    When I start up my PC it automatically goes to Lock screen more specifically defaultUser0 and requires a password/ code only there is no such code. I've tried to do a clean/reset to OEM but do not get the option in my advance options menu. It's not there. I've done to boot from USB partition deal and same thing. Reverts back to defaultUser0 every time. Even tried boot into safe mode with ntwking cmdprmpt etc. The only options I get .

    :)

  2. Get rid of Windows 10 defaultuser0

    Hi,

    I realize that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should. Sorry to know that you are facing this issue. I will try to help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to follow these steps to remove the user account from your computer and check if that helps.


    • Press “Windows key + R” and type “netplwiz” press Enter.

    • Select the user account (defaultuser0), click the remove button.

    Follow the on-screen directions to complete the process. Once this is done restart the pc for the changes to take place.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

  3. Defaultuser0

    Hi,

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the user account.

    Defaultuser0 is a system user profile used when Windows is setting up, before any user accounts have been created. It should and usually does disappear after first reboot after installation. If the profile folder remains in Users folder, it's safe to manually
    delete it.

    If you don't need the user account, you can delete it.

    Delete the 'DefaultUser0' folder from C:\Users\

    Delete the 'DefaultUser0' registry entry from:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\

    Click on each of the listed profiles and check the 'ProfielImagePath' entry to verify the associated profile.

    Delete the user with net user defaultuser0 /delete

    Thank you.

  4. Stuck on defaultUser0

    Windows 11 Defaultuser0

    After a Windows update the defaultuser0 profile showed up on my laptop. I deleted the user profile from the accounts tab in settings but defaultuser0 still tries to sign on upon restart/reboot and stays on the sign-in screen despite the account being removed from the list of users.
    How do I get rid of defaultuser0?
