    User area problems, please help


    I have installed Windows10 Home onto a new computer. I tried to add a new user for my wife. I set her as an adult (not admin). I added Steam, so that she could play games. I copied and pasted some shortcuts from my user area onto hers because I knew she would never be able to start a new game from Steam.
    Now I have managed to block myself from my own user area, which is the admin. When I try to switch users, I find I can't go into my user area. I am assigned a temporary user status instead.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    :)

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
