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:

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

 

can not enable administrator account

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

I suggest you to enable Built-in Admin account and create a new user account and check if issue persists on the new user account:

Please follow the steps given below to enable Built-in Admin account:

• Insert the Windows 10 installation DVD in the DVD ROM and restart your computer.
• After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
• Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
• Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
• Select Troubleshoot from Choose an option screen.
• Click Advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.
  
• Click on Command Prompt.
• Type: net user administrator /active: yes

Note: If you do not have Windows 10 disk, refer to the article below to create a media:

Now login to the Built-in Admin account and create a new user account. Refer to the steps to create a new user account:

• Press “Windows Key + W”.
• Type Users in the search box and select “Users” option from the left panel.
• Select “Add Users” under “Other users” option.
• Add the user profile details.
• Then login to the new user account and then check if this fixes the issue.

Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.
