  1. Windows 10 removing/limiting account


    At my workplace I logged into my Microsoft account through Word document as I needed to make a doc. Asap and the company has not set up their account yet for the Microsoft office. Its been a week since and the computer is used by many people during the day, I've only noticed that Windows used my details to create an account as an administrator.

    I need to unlink my account or limit them as to seeing all my docs and info from my personal cloud that i have connected with my other two personal laptops.


    I tried but it didn't work for me when I created a standard account and deleted my administrator. I need all the data including apps and settings to remain the same. I am not happy that windows used my info for the admin account as I only wanted to use word and sign out.


    Can anyone help me please?

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Windows 10 removing/limiting account :(
