    I recently built a new PC and when the computer originally asks what Microsoft account I want to use, I input my mom's email address instead of mine. While I have already taken the device off of her Microsoft account and moved it over to mine, several things still are associated in my mom's name. For starters, whenever I try to use my email for OneDrive, for some reason it pulls up all of the files associated with her email address. The second thing I noticed was that while in CMD, the username in the line of code is a shortened version of my mom's email and not mine this isn't as big of an i

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  3. Issues Connecting Newly Built PC to Ethernet

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section but I'm having issues getting my newly built PC connected to the Internet. I have an Ethernet cord plugged into my modem and into my PC but Windows is not detecting a connection. Any help is appreciated.

    If this is of any help, my MOBO is an MSI Z97 Gaming 5.

    No it persists on all newly created accounts do not work
