Windows 10: Why is my primary account profile not appearing on the sign in page on my Windows 11 HP Envy?

Why did my long time account profile not appearing on the sign in page on my Windows 11 HP Envy? When I try to sign into the secondary account I set up, it says “unable to sign into user account” then the screen says “signing out” and goes black. Before the main profile disappeared, it said there were too many sign in attempts which was after it was shut down. I had not previously tried to sign in as I know the password.

Deleted account on sign on page

I have read through a lot of the threads and posts concerning Ghost accounts already on this forum but some are extremely old and none of remedies offered seem to fit my problem. This forum has recently helped me to deal with an extremely confused set of User Accounts (see thread User Account Confusions ). During this process I substituted 2 new User Accounts for the previous ones, and completed a Repair install as it appeared that Windows 10 was corrupted in some way. The upgraded Windows 10 is working quite well. However: 1) One of the old user accounts shows up on the sign in page in spite of the fact that it does not appear in the list of users (cmd command wmic useraccount get name,sid) nor in the registry Profile List because I deleted it from both of these before I started the Repair instal although to access the admin account currently in use, I have to click on its name in the list on the left of the sign in page. It does not show up in the directory. 2) The other 2 accounts which I also deleted from the sid list in Windows Powershell and from the registry Profile List are showing up in the Users Directory but not on the sign in page. None of them appear in Control Panel User Accounts. I am starting a new thread because the "User Account Confusions" thread is now extremely long and the present problem is more of an irritation than anything. I have external backups of the data from the "ghost" accounts. I will create a clone of the laptop system system image using Macrium Reflect before I do anything else. Can anyone advise best way to banish these accounts from my system ?

 

"User Profile profile service failed sign in" - can't create new user


Hi all. Recently upgraded to W10 from 8.1 and am now trying to create a new profile for my partner. I am able to create it so that it appears in the Accounts section and on the login page but when I try to login with it I get the error: user profile profile service failed sign in.

I have googled this and see that it has been an issue for many users since W7 but there don't seem to be any fixes online that work. One of the primary fixes listed to to make edits to the user in the registry but the user does NOT appear in the registry at all - I only have myself listed and a separate Admin user.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

HP Envy Laptop Battery not charging after Windows 10 installation

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I suggest you to un-install and re-install battery drivers from Device manager and check. Follow the steps:

• Press Windows Key + X.
• Click on Device Manager.
• Expand Batteries and right click on Batteries ACPI and click on Un-install.
• Restart the computer and check.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to visit HP Envy website and check whether HP has released any firmware updates for Windows 10. If so, please go ahead and install them and check with the issue.
