Windows 10: User System File automatically named by Microsoft Account Sync

I don't know how to explain this clearly...

Whenever I perform a new Win 10 install, the computer automatically names my User Account folder as "desig" because of a freak typo once upon a time. See embedded screen snip:



I assume this happens because of Microsoft account sync settings, but how can I fix this?

:)

 

Account name user name

Ok, let's review.

• Your Microsoft account aliases do not have the len address listed.
• Your Microsoft account name online is correct.
• You have a local account on the PC with the len address shown under "Your info".

I'm pretty sure you are signed in to an app with the len address, and is why you are seeing this.

As a test, click on the "Stop signing in to all Microsoft apps automatically" link below to see if that may remove it.

 

File Sync Software Needed

Hey guys.

At work, my boss provides people with a few different sync software packages for backups and multi-system setups, namely Carbonite and SugarSync. He'd like to know if there's one available that can sync multiple user accounts at once (i.e. Sync User B while User A is logged on) so that customers can have a "hot standby machine" in the event that their main machine goes wrong.
At present, the software we provide only syncs the account that is currently logged on. If their main machine goes wrong, the customer is required to wait several hours for their files to sync on the backup machine. This poses problems, as some of our customers run businesses and will need access to their files ASAP.

Cheers in advance.

 

Local Acct user and MS account user - sync them or merge them


If the local account is the one where you have most of your personal data, this is how I would do it:

• Sign in to your Microsoft account
  
• Copy all documents, pictures and other personal data from Microsoft account's user folders to corresponding folders in user Public (contents of MS account Documents folder to Public Documents folder and so on)
• Sign out from Microsoft account

Notice that above steps are only required if Microsoft account user folders contain data you want to keep. If its user folders are empty or do not contain anything worth saving, you can skip the above steps. Continue from below.

• Sign in to the local account
  
• Delete the Microsoft account (Option One in this tutorial)
• Switch your local account to a Microsoft account (tutorial)
• Copy the data backed up from old Microsoft account to Public folders to new Microsoft account in corresponding folders

That's it. Using the Public folders as temporary storage you will have none whatsoever file owner / permission issues later on.
