Solve : How can I delete the default logon user (Microsoft Account) ghost ?? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello All<br/><br/>Got a new little PC yesterday and set it up. Windows 10 Prof 64 bit.<br/><br/>It had the Hello screen thing and wanted me to create a PIN, but it insisted that I use a Microsoft Account and I couldn't seem to avoid it - so I did - and it created a user which I didn't want. (I've installed W10 several times and never got stuck <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/like-537196" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LIKE">LIKE</a> this - first time I've seen the PIN thing)<br/><br/>I then created two local users, one <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/admin-850174" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ADMIN">ADMIN</a>, which I did want. <br/><br/>I thought I was left with just my two and I did delete a folder eg Fred, which was created without my knowing - and I thought had no user remaining.<br/><br/>(I believe I have spotted something <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/since-644476" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SINCE">SINCE</a> about a formal way to convert to local. I didn't use that formal route. It wasn't the name I wanted anyway. I just created my own)<br/><br/>Anyway, if I reboot, it thinks there are 3 user accounts and it defaults to Fred (the MS A/c) but complains it can't log on and asks for a pswd or pin - which I haven't got. I've tried all sorts but I can't log on through it and I can't reset it. I just want to get rid of it !<br/><br/>I can still log on as Admin and that's fine. I can Win+L to switch user and then I'm am only offered a choice of my two accounts, which is just what I want. It forgets Fred when switching users for some reason. (Why only when booting does Fred appear ??)<br/><br/>If I reboot, it sees the 3 again ...<br/><br/>I know Fred exists in the registry under Winlogon as the DefaultUserName. Changing that name in the registry to my name didn't lose it from the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/logon-2798979" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOGON">LOGON</a> screen ... it just meant I still had 3, 2 of which had the same name when rebooting. So I have changed Winlogon back to Fred.<br/><br/>So, how can I make it forget about Fred ? I just want my std user to be the default and then use Admin when necessary. <br/><br/>Any advice greatly appreciated <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/take-662846" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TAKE">TAKE</a> a look at the following link about deleting unused user accounts.
