  1. Work account not listed as user account - causing issues


    HiI use my laptop for both personal and business work. However, the laptop doesn't seem to recognise the work account as a user. Can anyone explain why?I have two personal accounts on my laptop one for me - Neale, and one for my son - Evan, and I have my work account.I can log into my work account without any trouble although see below one extra query on this.However, I've realised that the work account doesn't seem to be recognised as a user. laces. The work account is an AzureAD account - though I must admit I am only vaguely sure I know what that means. I am a one man band and I do not

    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 Work account not listed as user account - causing issues :(

    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:

    Work account not listed as user account - causing issues

    Hello Neale, this is Emily.

    This is actually completely normal if your work user is added via AzureAD. You should see it though under Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School. The other places where you didn't see it are meant to list non-organization accounts.

    As for the scanning issue with this work user, I will recommend that you post your question to the Q&A forum for the Azure category. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags/... This forum is for retail general consumers, so you will be met with better expertise there. While you are there, you might also want to find out the best practice for your one-man team Azure account.
