  1. There are two user accounts shown in Windows C: drive but one of them does not appear in...


    Under Users in the Windows C: drive, there are 4 users listed: Default, Karen, kwsta, and Public. The "Default" is mostly empty as is "Karen", and most of my data is in "kwsta". In Control Panel and Settings both, only a user (administrator) account with my full name appears. This is a new computer, installed in March of this year. I did not create the "kwsta" user account, to my remembrance, and I think that this plethora of user accounts is causing problems with my Carbonite account and possibly other processes as well. I am the only user and would like there to be only one user account. How do I go about fixing this?


    Thanks for any help provided!

    :)

  3. 1lostuser Win User
    User Accounts As Shown


    Under users on drive C: have all of the following plus my user account:
    .Net v4.5
    .Net v4.5 Classic
    Admini~1
    All users
    Default
    Default Users
    Default.Migrated
    Default App Pool
    Public
    However when I go to users in control panel only shows my account. Also at times when doing some checks and
    troubleshooting says must be logged in as administrator but my account is labeled as administrator. Can anyone
    tell me how or if I can get rid of all the user listings other than mine.
    Thanks

    There are two user accounts shown in Windows C: drive but one of them does not appear in...

    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 There are two user accounts shown in Windows C: drive but one of them does not appear in... :(
