  1. User account issue (w/ other issues)


    Recently i allowed a family member use my only pc, and somehow user accts is corrupted. The pc went into automatic repair, it couldnt perform it. In advanced options, tried using recovery flash drive, that failed to execute- i dont know why, then system repair, failed! Then system restore, guess what? Failed. The only option that does work in advanced option is the command prompt. I only need a command line to use to regain control and login . i even scanned with chkdsk/f/r it found nothing wrong. I can still boot into a flash drive or inserted disk- but anything resembling recover or restore is still a mystery. The last resort would be to buy an install disk and choose to repair or reinstall windows - i have the (key). Iam asking this on any tech forum to try compare results.

    The administrator account is a Microsoft account the other user account is not.

  3. Issues with Other User Accounts on Windows 10

    An administrator of the pc has set me up as a user. I have verified my email address and tried to log on and the computer goes from telling me 'welcome' to telling me 'signing out'.

    The administrator has tried inviting me to become a user and we have done the same thing and get the same response when trying to log on.

    We have restarted the PC and are still unable to sign me in.

    Very frustrating - cannot work out why this is happening or how to fix it.

    Does anyone know how we should go about adding me as a user who can actually log in?!

    User account issue (w/ other issues)

    You don't need to buy a install DVD they are free to download from ms and will have the latest release you don't need a key it's all registered with ms. So if you download that you have three options create a new user via cmd line and login with that. Boot DVD and do a repair from there. Boot DVD and do a clean install which is quickest and best options but you would loose any data not on onedrive.Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)

  6. Noone is willing to help me create iso file. I now have the option of keep asking for help, letting issue drag on into new year, or send to repairs. Ive tried to create new user, but it failed to do so. I cant boot into safe mode, nor sys restore nor restore with sys image. I cant reset with recovery either.. I only have CMD option. I have access to notepad and registry thats all. If anyone has good hints to use the command prompt to try regain control of pc, that would be great.
