Windows 10: whoami usernname

I lately did a reset of my computer. After the reset I discovered that even though my username under C:/users is shown as marco if I type in whoami in the cmd it says my name is the old one i had. If I install new programs it also shows the old name and not marco. Does anyone know how to change this?

Sharing a folder

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate your time and patience to work on this issue.

To know the username of your computer, please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Type Command prompt in the search bar.
   
2. Right click on the Command prompt icon and select Run as Administrator.
   
3. Type whoami in Command Prompt window and press Enter.
   
4. You will find the username of the computer, use the username and your password to access the file from the shared folder.
   

However, if the above steps didn’t help, I suggest you to turn off password protected sharing and check if that helps.

To turn off password protected sharing, please follow the steps mentioned below on your laptop:

1. Press and hold Windows + R key on the keyboard.
   
2. Type Control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Click on Network and Sharing Center.
   
4. Click on Change advance sharing settings.
   
5. Under All Networks, click on
   Turn off password protected sharing.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply to this post for further assistance, we will be glad to help you.

Installing printer drivers not sufficient priviledge

Are you able to confirm that you belong to the Administrators group on the PC by opening a command prompt and typing the following:

whoami

You will see the name of the account that your logged on as.

Then type in:

net localgroup administrators

A list of accounts that belong to the Administrators group will be listed, and if you are in the Admin Group, you should see your account name that was displayed under whoami. If the account name is not there then you are not part of the Administrators group.
