Thread: "User Account" function doesn't show new user at Windows 10 Logon screen

    Default "User Account" function doesn't show new user at Windows 10 Logon screen

    Hi,

    I'm using the "User Account" function to create a new local user, for
    example "JohnDoe" with a password.

    After that I can use this new user/pw to run my service, which is
    working ok.

    BUT this new user doesn't show up at my Windows 10 Logon screen. Also,
    this new user isn't visible under Windows Users and Accounts.

    So how can I logon now under Windows 10 with this new user and
    password?! Because I need to set a default printer etc. for this new user.

    Are you accessing remotely via Remote Desktop or something?

    If so, maybe it's related to this?

    Hi Jeff,

    No, just local normal user.

    Did you make it an Administrator account? Just wondering since I just
    tested that and it is listed on the login window and in the user
    accounts.

    The problem here is probably because no desktop has been created yet.
    That is a time consuming process that would/could slow your install
    considerably.

    No, just a Normal User account.

    I just tried that and it worked as expected.

    He just got back from vacation last week, I think, so he may be
    recuperating from THAT!<g>

    Absolutely <vbg>. And on top of this we had to switch our credit card
    processor (from Nebraska, USA to Cologne, Germany and now to London, UK).
    Oh boy, this was not a trivial task. I think I am back to real work this
    weekend.

    Last stab at it, are you running the install elevated?

    These two links could help list all the user accounts.
    https://winaero.com/blog/get-list-lo...ts-windows-10/
    https://blog.ipswitch.com/how-to-acc...ith-powershell

    Its also worth checking in the event log to see if any errors were
    posted when the account was created.

    Elevation would be an issue.
