Windows 10: Windows 10 searching for old username after name change/ won't open correctly.

Hello, I recently went into my administrator user so I could change my regular username folder from my mother's to my own. When I went back to log in again, it said something like "error, username dusic cannot be found" dusic being the old name, Jio being current and while I have all current info still in my computer, all of my apps and everything has been displaced. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Or perhaps didn't do at all?

Username change caused serious problems

Hello NavyLCDR,
Thanks for your post - I was afraid of a HDD failure too... but it seems so strange on an eight-day-old
laptop than has not been mistreated. Not impossible, of course.

Anyway, now we have managed to re-install Windows 10, we will watch out for further issues, and should things continue going wrong, the shop has agreed to take the laptop back within the next three weeks, although they are now out of stock, and my daughter really likes it. Maybe it will be OK, though.

Hello dalchina,
OK, thanks for the warning!
My daughter is just preparing to create a new disk image. She was getting quite paranoid, so she created another Username and User Account, and thus won´t use the old disk-image anyway.

The Username change that triggered this whole issue was done following Microsoft´s indications using
netplwiz. It was the single user/administrator name - there are no further users on the laptop.
My other daughter suggested that the Username change caused this Win10 confusion, but there shouldn´t really be any HDD trouble caused.
We shall see...

Cheers,
Van

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
