[SOLVED] homegroupuser$

[hoozdaar]

I recently built a new pc. I loaded Win10 home from a OEM disc. After I had windows running and before going through the entire update process, I created a homegroup with my old PC to pass and share files. The state of the new win10 accepted the creation of a homegroup. Over the next several days I went through many win 10 updates to make my PC current. The current Win 10 does net support homegroup$. I now find HomeGroup$ on my sign in page asking for a password. I also have my real sign on and am able to get into my PC. But the fact HomeGroup$ shows up every time a turn on my PC is driving my nuts.

I do not want reload Win 10. Some where in Win 10 there is something that puts Homegroupuser$ on my sign-on screen. What is it? Where is it? How do I safely remove it??

thanks for your consideration.

You can use this to hide users on login screen - https://www.windowscentral.com/how-hide-specific-user-accounts-sign-screen-windows-10
Note: If you do this, since it includes registry changes, I would backup registry before making any changes - https://neosmart.net/wiki/backup-restore-registry/

You should download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB, everytime before you install as it will get you to newest version of win 10 faster than updating it from the OEM version will each time. MIcrosoft update that every 6 months so its always just a few updates old.
