  1. Windows 10 username setup with the Microsoft Account isn't displaying all the letters


    I'm a former Mac user who recently bought a Windows 10 laptop. While initially setting up the Windows from scratch, I opted to use the Microsoft Account which I had since the XP days rather than creating a local user. I don't remember the exact information asked in that setup, but my username now <My First Name> minus the last letter. For example, let us say the first name I entered was Oliver the username currently is Olive. I wouldn't have cared for that since my Microsoft Account's full name is always displayed where the username would have been. However, since I'm a developer, I keep looking at Olive every time I use the command line. I'm now wondering if anything else tops your name ruined better than this. I've tried most of the username-changing tutorials online that I was sure weren't going to break anything. I've even tried resetting Windows opting for a complete reset without preserving any data. I wasn't asked anything more than email, password and full name this time. Still, the username misses that last letter. Can someone please help me with this? I don't have much Windows experience.

    :)

    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.”

    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 username setup with the Microsoft Account isn't displaying all the letters :(

  4. Windows 10 username setup with the Microsoft Account isn't displaying all the letters

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
