Windows 10: Unwanted accounts?

Hello, I was advised to use the 'run- netplwiz' and it shows only 1 account. It then shows username, and under 'Group' it shows Administrators; Users.

However, when I go to \windows\users\ I see directories: default, default user1, defaultuser1.NAME-LAPTOP.001, then 'first initial middle name', then public.
I took a screen shot yesterday and the users displayed under "advanced security settings for public" were
Administrator NAME-LAPTOP\administrator | access Full Control,
CREATOR OWNER Full control,
SYSTEM, Full Control,
2 INTERACTIVE, Special,
2 SERVICE Special, special,
2 BATCH, Special,
all under Public Properties, and I don't know how to get back to that dialogue box.
Under Control Panel \ User Accounts :
Credential Manager,
Users
Is this normal? I was hacked recently on 2 systems, the laptop from where the above settings are from, and an older desktop running win xp pro SP3, with no extra user accounts.
Thank you

:)

It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
