  1. Windows 11 - User Account Management


    My computer has two users - one with a Microsoft account and one without. Both accounts are administrator accounts.I was looking for a way to change the password for the other user non-Microsoft account but could find no option to do so. Windows 10 allowed one to do this I think. I couldn't either, find an option to view all the users on my machine.Any help will be appreciated.Regards,Tim

    :)

    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 11 - User Account Management :(
