yeah I take your point. And wasn't a reflection on your answer. I'm just disappointed there isn't a way of doing it without that duplication. I had no plans to go with the regedit method (unless someone provided guidance on how to do so safely)

eh I guess I can do this, just seems a bit strange that this is not possible by a more straightforward means. My account is not new, so I have a lot of setup on my main account that will be annoying to replicate. I managed to change my account name to my alias, by switching to use a local...

yeah in this case right clicking on the folder, even as admin, does not permit renaming. From what I can tell, you can create a new temp admin account, then rename your main account's user folder. But it still only works when paired with a registry edit. e.g. View: https://youtu.be/XASJTN8Sr1I

When creating my windows user account, I signed in with my microsoft account, so my user folder uses a shortened version of my real name. I want to record content on my desktop, but do not want this to be shown for privacy reasons and therefore I want to change it to an alias. The only solutions...

I missed this line when I first replied - initially I tried B2 & A2 (2nd and 4th from CPU respectively); then just A2 - these 2 configs are the recommended configs per manual; then just B1; then just A1

Hi Lutfij, Thanks for your response. I tried to trigger the CrashFree BIOS option, via USB drive that I downloaded the latest BIOS onto. However nothing seemed to be happening when I powered on. Thinking back, I cannot remember if I already had the USB inserted into the port before I turned on...

I recently carried out a build with the following components: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x Mobo: ASUS TUF Gaming x570 Plus wifi PSU: Corsair RM750x 80 PLUS Gold GPU: MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Trio When I hit the power button, there are signs the system is receiving power (e.g. lights and fans turn on)...
