I had a disaster a few months ago and had to restore my Windows 10/1909 a few months ago with the D-drive factory recovery version 1903 and made a hash of my Windows sign-in. Previously my sign-in was perfect at "Wittmann + password.
Somehow I entered my Microsoft Outlook.com email as Admin. instead of Wittmann..
On sign-in, Windows comes up with my name (Wittmann) but fails on password.
At the left hand bottom of the sign-in screen there are now two choices, one is my name (Wittmann) which does not work and the other is my email which I click.
On clicking the email choice, it then asks for my email ID and password, I enter them and Windows then signs-in and opens OK.
Also I have to enter my email and password to view browser stored passwords, instead of just a password as previous.
The image shows my Windows Admin. entry - my email ID that I do not want.
I need to fix it so that my name (Wittmann) is registered (added) with password, so that on sign-in Windows then opens automatically to display my desktop.
I tried a PIN number, it said it already exists, but I do not know what it is. Rather stick with password.
Please advise me exactly what is needed to get my sign-in to work automatically using my name and dispense with the email sign-in.
What I cannot risk is being locked out, at least the cumbersome email sign-in works.
I need the User Accounts panel to show - Wittmann under Username and Administrator under Group so that Windows logs on through to desktop.
I don't mind leaving the email User/Admin if it does not adversely affect the Wittmann sign-in.
