  2. Missing Account Logon on Sign-In Screen

    I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10. Recently I ran netplwiz to modify my account user name. When I rebooted my computer, I no longer had the option to logon at the sign-in screen. The only logon available to me is the Administrator account. When I
    logon as the administrator, User Accounts shows only the Administrator account and it does not allow me to add any new accounts from Settings. If I try to add my account by using netplwiz to get User Accounts and add an account from there, I get the message
    that my account already exists on the PC - even though there is no option to logon at the sign-in screen.

    Help!

  3. Windows 10 account login missing after sign out

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience as you are unable to see Microsoft account on logon screen on your computer, we will help you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to logon with the existing user account and perform the below steps:

    • Logon with the temporary user account.
    • Press Windows + R to open Run command.
    • Type netplwiz in the text area on Run command
      and press Enter.
    • This will open the list of all user accounts on your computer along with the user types.
    • Search for the Microsoft administrator account.
    Do let us know if you are able to see the account in the list.

    Kindly get back to us with the required information, we will be happy to help you.

    Windows 10 Administrator id - User Accounts and Logon Screen

    Glad that your concern about the update has been resolved.

    You can create a new administrator account and then delete the account that has been made by the Answer Desk. Follow the steps below:

    For creating a new administrator account:

    • Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage another account > Add a new user in PC settings > Add someone else in this PC.
    • Enter the credentials needed.
    • Click the account that you have made and then click the Change account type
      option.
    • Choose Administrator and then click OK.
    • Restart your computer.
    For removing the account that you don't want to see on the logon screen of your computer.

    • Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > User Accounts > Manage another account >
      click the account that you are referring to > Delete the account.
    • Choose whether to Delete Files or Keep Files
      for that specific account.
    Let us know how it goes.
