  1. Windows current user account location country


    I am from Australia & have never lived anywhere else. For some reason, I I go to Control Panel > Regions & the Administrative tab,, the location of the current user is showing as Tuvalu.I have tried to change it & I don't seem to be able to delete it, even though I have an Australian address set as my preferred shipping & billing address. I purchased a new laptop ASUS Zenbook, have not had my own computer for some time now.Because my user location does not match my credit card country, I cannot purchase anything on the Microsoft Store. I have tried reformatting & reins

    :)

    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 current user account location country :(

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    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:
