Windows 10: User Accounts

Yesterday I found that my PC was taking longer to restart than normal and I noticed at the bottom left of my screen that there were now 2 user accounts - My normal one and a new Administrator account that was never there before.I am the only one that uses my PC and I have full Administration rites. Where did this new administrator account come from, and more importantly how do I get rid of it?I have tried deleting it the normal way via settings but I cannot remove it. It also does not show up in Control Panel Users

:)
