Windows 10: Windows update deleted my account and created a temporary account

Hi,in April I have encountered the known issue of a Windows update having deleted or rather hidden my user account and having created a temporary empty account with the same name. To remedy I have done:- reboot or plain shut down and start up again for at least 8 times- deinstalled the latest windows updates among which KB5001330 up until February to make sure- did Windows System Restore up until FebruaryNothing helped, still the same temp user account with the real account being hidden. I have already created a new user with admin rights so in principle I could just transfer al

Create a new account first....then delete the old account.

 

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
