Windows loginWin 10 attempts to connect to a non-existent account under your administrator role!
When powering on my Windows 10 Pro PC each time, it attempts to connect to an account that appears to be missing from the system. Luckily, I can switch to my Windows administrator account (which is linked to my Microsoft account) and log in safely. The issue remains, I can't eliminate this unwanted account, as it seems the system prioritizes it over my usual login. I need a clear view of it but don’t know how. I’ve checked Settings and found no other accounts besides my local admin, and netplwiz shows only the admin account on the Users tab. On the Advanced tab, under Users folder in Advanced User Management, there are four settings listed. They include Administrator, %myusername% DefaultAccount, Guest WDAGUtilityAccount, and another one. I’m unsure what to do next or if this is the right place to fix things. There’s no obvious way to remove the account that Windows insists has priority, and I don’t see a clear registry option to reset it. I’ve been struggling for a few days, so any guidance on deleting or managing this account would be greatly appreciated.
Windows requires a user account to function properly. This is intentional. Even without an account, you wouldn't have access to perform any actions. If you're unsure about the logged-in user, try opening Notepad and checking the task manager to see which application was running.
