Windows 10: Windows Hello & Microsoft Account Security Issues

Hello dear Community members,I have found myself quite baffled by the inexistence of software allowing you to lock files and folders using biometric authentification through Windows Hello.I've finally resigned and decided it would be worth the shot to go and try One Drive's Vault and it's alleged biometric authentification capabilities, as it's written here : Personal Vault: Store Sensitive Files – Microsoft OneDriveHere's my issue :I cannot add Windows Hello login to my additional security options for my Microsoft account this page ; Additional security options live.com Every time I woul

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
