    Let me guess, your account is the only Admin acct. This process can't be used on an Admin account unless you give a Local Account Admin privileges. In the video, you can see two diff desktops when signed in.

    I have sucessfully renamed my account ,and yes I gave admin privilages to temporary account.
    I solved dropbox problem with totally deleting everything and reinstalling , but I can not solve search problem, I tried to force indexing again but it did not help. Noone of installed applications are shown in search
