Windows 10: Trying to search for users when creating a new group

I recently created a Windows 10 VM and have been experimenting with user groups and permissions. So I created several users on this VM, all based on characters from Lord of the Rings, and am trying to add them to groups. When I access the Local Users and Groups and create the group, then under the members list box I click add, then I click "Advanced" but I can only choose "Find Now," after selecting my objects and Location. I want to be able to search for users by names to add them in THIS window. Is that possible?

I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

create user fails windows 10

Geoff,

This is a shot in the dark.

Several people have been reporting different problems logging in to newly created user accounts.

• They just get a user profile service failed message instead of your symptoms.
• Whilst their symptom is different, it occurs to me that the cause might be the same.
• The common factor is that it affects newly-created user accounts that have never been successfully logged into.

So, I suggest having a look at my explanations in Cannot create a new user account that can be login.

In short -

1 Try copying the NTUSER.DAT file from the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder of a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

2 Try copying the whole [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group from a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

3 Try recreating the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group using Kapil Arya's linked article.

I have nothing other than a gut feeling to justify suggesting these steps,

Best of luck,

Denis

 

Creating a new tiles group in windows 10

Hi everyone,

I was trying to figure out how to do this, and I ran into the same grief.

So, now that I know how to do it, I thought I'd post what works for me.

When you open the Start Menu, you have two large, vertical sections.

• On the left, a list of your "Most used" programs.
• On the right, your groups of Tiles ... and the location we want to create a new group.
  
  The first tile group in this list is probably titled "Life at a glance."

A few basic things to know

• Both of these two lists in the Start Menu are vertically scrollable.
• Each tile group is separated so that each one falls below the next.
• The title for each group is left-aligned in the space between tile groups.
• If you hover your mouse pointer over the space between tile groups (or over a group's title), you'll see a little menu icon appear to the right of the title (right-aligned). It looks like two horizontal lines. In mobile webpages, it's often referred to
  as a mobile menu or hamburger menu. It's not a menu here. I don't know what Microsoft calls it, so I'm going to call it a Grab Handle (it'll make sense shortly).
• Your existing Tile groups are all stacked one above the other on the right side,
  but there's always one group hidden at the very bottom of the list. If you scroll down and look, you'll see an empty space at the bottom of your tiles list that's larger than the space between your existing
  tile groups.
  
  Let's call this the "New Tile Group space."
• The Start Menu creates a new group when you drag an icon into the "New Tile Group space."
  
  It doesn't matter if the icon comes from the left list of "Most used" programs or from somewhere else in the Tiles list. Simply drag it down there, and voila! A new tile group.

If you click on the space between tile groups, of if you click on a "Grab Handle," you can add or edit the name for the tile group immediately below it, including your new group.

If you want to change the placement of any tiles, simply drag them to where you want them.

If you want to change the order of your tile groups, simply grab the "Grab Handle," and drag the group up or down to where you want it to sit in the tiles list.

A suggestion...

If you're going to create a new group by dragging an icon from the left "Most used" list, I'd suggest scrolling the tiles list (on the right) to the very bottom first. You'll have that "New Tile Group space" immediately accessible to drop your icon onto
-- without having to mess with trying to make the list auto scroll while dragging.

That's it.

I get the whole desire to cater to mobile and finger navigation, but wouldn't also having an option button or link make a whole lot of sense?
