Windows 10: When ever I open settings it shows a different account and not mine

When I open settings I see on the top left that it shows my Microsoft account but it's the wrong account.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account

Hi guys

I have same issue in safe boot mode with networking!

First of all it blocks the networking

Then states:

Settings cant be opened using the built in administrator account sign in with different account and try again.


Yet clicking on windows i opens settings fine


It also states broadband blocked, yet I can happily get on the net but at first I couldn't.

When I asked about it the guy from Microsoft tech answers couldn't understand why I wanted to use safe boot mode with networking????????

After he did nothing to help but emailed some scripts which didn't refer to safe mode. I rebooted and suddenly safe mode with networking worked with the net but windows 10 still claims broadband is blocked!

Im also still getting the message on trying to unblock broadband:

cant be opened using the built in administrator account sign in with different account and try again.

What is going on there?

 

Win10 log-in shows different name at log-in that is not mine, nor recognized!

On my Win10 PC, I am the only user, so did not set-up a password to access it/log-in. Five days ago, it requested I enter a password!! Followed the procedure to do so, and it has worked since then.

This morning, the log-in screen showed a DIFFERENT NAME instead of mine for the account holder!! I have no clue who, what, where, how this happened. My daughter checked Facebook and LinkedIn, one showed the person in Australia, the other in South Africa!

I immediately disconnected PC from network, and used the previously set-up password, and it allowed me in. This access and posting is from a separate, older PC (still running Win XP!! (which I miss!!))

I checked the Account Info, and it listed:

DIFFERENT NAME (an 'actual' name, that showed up on Facebook & LinkedIn)

my xxx.gmail account name below it

Administrator

My concerns:

• HOW did this happen?
• is the machine compromised? (security scans are current and supposedly clean)
• what is recommended resolution?
• what precautions should be taken?

Thanks!!
