Windows 10: 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!!

Windows 10 shows the apps names different or odd


Apparently you have different things on your Win10, I have nothing identifiable with what you show but then the full names aren't all visible, can't see what they are. I have no Other entry in my list. Does the @ symbol before the names suggest something involving texting, maybe involving a Smart Phone?

 

N85 not recognizing contact numbers!!!

There's a problem with my N85. It recognizes all contacts when they call me exept 2 numbers. There are no duplicates, the numbers are stored only on the phone (not even on SIM card), the SIM card is new and still those 2 numbers are not recognized whatever
I try... If I place the call from the contacts list it shows on the log. If I simply press the number and call then it doesn't show the name on the log. Same with incoming calls from those 2 numbers... It simply won't recognize the contact and won't show the
name on the log. It will show the number. Any suggestions???

 

Struggling to log on

Hello all,

I have a friend who registered here a couple of weeks ago (Jacko28), but he's struggling to log on. He logs on, but once trying to create a post - it logs him out.

He's deleted cookies, tried a diffrent browers, and other various things.

Can anyone suggest anything?
