  1. Windows 10 - doesn't recognize my user, even if I log into my account


    When I start up my computer and I log into my account it somehow throws me into a a guest or a temporary user. All of my documents are "gone", programs are "missing" They are there though in my user name. My internet history is missing. I can open a chrome window and all of my recently viewed icons under the search area are missing. Then I can open a new browser and it's there again. It kind of flip flops from me being in my user to me not being in my user account. Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Look at this thread,How to Delete a User Account in Windows 10, it may help. You can try the various methods.
    Make sure you are using an administrative account when removing the account or log on using the Administrator's account.

    Or, if you are patient and know what you are doing, manually remove it.

    Either way, Goodluck.

    Windows 10 - doesn't recognize my user, even if I log into my account

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
