  1. windows recognizes me as unknown user


    Morning,


    Just a moment ago I tried to give a rank to my file, using detailing pane in windows explorer. When I tried to save it, it asked me to run the program as administrator, but it stuck saying that I don't have credentials for that.

    Then I checked the security tab in its properties, and I found 2 unknown user with different name which I know nothing about. And I was recognized as one of them, so I could only read that file.

    what happened ? I've signed in and even connected my account to this unit as administrator.

    Any ideas ? Saman. windows recognizes me  as unknown user d5a4a08b-6fd1-4596-b0f1-7b892d682b4b?upload=true.png

    :)

    Unknown User Account created after upgrading to windows 10. It comes back if I delete it.

    Original Title: Unknown User Account

    Hello,

    Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I am seeing an account that I did NOT create. So I deleted it by going into Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > User Accounts > Manage Accounts then I click on the unknown user account and delete it. That said.... It
    comes back. I have also followed the below suggestions from other posts and still does not seem to work.

    Let’s try simple steps and check if the user account is detecting and try removing it.

    • Press Windows key + R, type netplwiz and press Enter.

    • Check if the user account is appearing on the list.

    • Click on user account and click on Remove. (If user account appear on the list).
    Please advise.

    Thank you

    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.

    Network devices listed under Unknown in Device Manager


    I have a Dell Inspiron M731R laptop upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Home 64-Bit that suddenly quit connecting to the home network. Was using wireless, so switched to an Ethernet cable, but still no luck. I just discovered that ALL of the network-related devices are now listed under an "Unknown" tab in the Device Manager. A check of properties of each item in that folder says they are all working properly, but that obviously isn't the case. I tried uninstalling each of the 4 items, but when they are recognized again they still show up under the Unknown tab. Any suggestions would be welcome.
