    Unable to Rename File Explorer User Name


    I got a new laptop and set-up myself as an administrator using my windows profile. My name is correctly everywhere in my profile except in the Windows " Users > [user name] folder. I have no idea where this name came from and it's incredibly frustrating, since it's a typo of my actual name.I followed the steps to update my nickname, signed out, logged back in, and the name is still displayed incorrectly. I also tried restarting my computer and the same old, incorrect name is displayed.

    :)
