[SOLVED] Duplicate user accounts after upgrading to Windows 10

It worked! Thank you for the help! I was wondering, what may have caused it in the first place? And what did the code do? There are still the same two entries in the IdentityStore\Cache registry so did the code only disable the duplicate account?

[SOLVED] Duplicate user accounts after upgrading to Windows 10

Converting SID to name using command prompt, the first entry returns with the account name but the second entry returns with "No Instance(s) Available." I've attached the result of the reg queries below.

[SOLVED] Duplicate user accounts after upgrading to Windows 10

Tried turning off password, rebooting, then turning it back on to no avail. If it's any help, I noticed that after logging onto the account with the square icon, the icon and text would change to that of the account with the circle icon.

I've ran sfc /scannon and it showed that it had found corrupt files and had successfully repaired them. I've attached the values of the registry key and the text file.

[SOLVED] Duplicate user accounts after upgrading to Windows 10

Hello. Recently, I upgraded my OS to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and noticed that there are 2 accounts at the login screen (see attached). I've always had one account. Logging into both of these accounts with my password works, however. I've tried the netplwiz technique, ticked and unticked the...

Hi, all. I've had my current laptop for about 5 years now and recently, I noticed that it began to produce ticking noises. I understand that it's a sign of HDD failure. I have a backup and the OEM OS CD (W7 SP1 x64), but I don't have the Office CD. I got it cleaned not too long ago and the...

[SOLVED] [7SP1 x64] Power outage during startup. Error code 0x490 from Startup Repair.

I see. I do backup, thankfully. The last battery I had was around 5 years old, bought some time in 2008-2009, and could only hold around 30 minutes of power. Granted I wasn't aware about calibrations so perhaps that could be the reason why it didn't last very long, and why I'm now more wary...

[SOLVED] [7SP1 x64] Power outage during startup. Error code 0x490 from Startup Repair.

I've gracefully rebooted and ran chkdsk /r from an elevator command prompt as instructed. The result shows 0 KB in bad sectors. Are there other parts from the chkdsk log that I must pay heed to in order to diagnose any issues that were caused by the outage? Or is there anything else I can do to...
