  1. Three users on splash screen, but only two listed under User Accounts


    Hi, everyone!
    When I log on, I get that dreaded error saying that the wrong password was given. Then I go back and log in with a different account. I would like to get rid of the user account that tries to log in first, but when I go to Control-User Accounts-Manage Another Account, it isn't listed. Where the heck is it?

    :)

  3. User account not added to Welcome screen after converting from Windows 7 to Windows 10

    In Windows 7 I had two accounts on my PC. Home was the name of the local account with Administrator authority. User is the name of the local account with User authority. Under Settings, Accounts, Family & other users, Other Users lists an account called
    User as a local account. The account called User does not appear on the Welcome screen. Only an icon for the administrator account named Home appears on the welcome.

    Question: How to I add the existing account called User to the Welcome screen?

    Question: Why didn't the conversion process add both accounts to the Welcome screen?

  4. Three users on splash screen, but only two listed under User Accounts

    I deleted one of the user accounts, and they both disappears, so now I'm left with just the built in Admin account, and I can't add another account. When I click on Add Account, it just buffers and times out. I'm going to try the solution on another thread.
