  1. cannot add new user -- get account error.


    I am trying to add a new user to a computer used by may church. I have successfully added an account for a system administrator, and get an error when I try to add the next account.The system administrator account is identical to this one, except the name is admin, not https://myaccount.microsoft.com/info. I have actu7ally tried this with two other user accounts I want to add to the machine, and each one gives me the same error. I have gone to https://myaccount.microsoft.com/ and verified that each of the accounts is a Microsoft account. I am at a loss to figure out why this error keeps r

  2. New Account/User Issues

    Hi,

    When you create a new user account, Windows uses the Default user profile as a template to construct the files for the newly created user account. You might be experiencing issues creating new accounts due to a corrupt Default profile. To
    resolve the issue, we suggest reinstating the Default folder in the
    Users directory by following these steps:

    • Log in as an administrator.
    • Open the C:\Users folder using Windows Explorer.
    • Rename the Default user profile folder to Default.OLD.
    • Download a zip of C:\Users\Default from a Windows 10 installation that doesn't have this problem.
    • Unzip the non-corrupt Default profile into C:\Users.
    • Try logging in to the new user account and check if the problem is resolved.

    Let us know how it turns out.
