  1. Wifes account not showing up on my latop


    I have windows 10 Version 10.0.21301 Build 21301 and according to the "Family & other users" setting in the control panel my wife's account with her microsoft credentials [COLOR=rgba27, 27, 27, 1]has already been added to my laptop but I don't see her listed as an option when logging in or any icon showing that I can switch to that account and looking into the file system I don't see her account listed under c:\Users[/COLOR]


    [COLOR=rgba27, 27, 27, 1]Any suggestions on how to debug this?[/COLOR]

    :)

    want Wife’s account to show up at Windows Log in

    I just set up an HP computer for my wife. When the computer boots, it shows my account and asks for my pin. I added my wife as a family member, but that didn’t change the login screen. The old laptop is working properly showing wife’s account for login
    and I am an administrator. On the new machine, I show up on login and am an administrator also.

    what are the steps to have wife’s account as primary on this new laptop?

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Wifes account not showing up on my latop

    My Local account is showing account details for my wife's Microsoft Account

    When I try to access my Local Account, I am unable to switch to my own Microsoft Account - message saying that another user on this device is already using this account. In addition, in the section where I should list
    my 'Accounts used by other apps', I have
    my Wife's Microsoft Account listed.

    Please help, I have spent hours and hours trying to correct this.
