That should not make any difference.

I couldn't agree more. However, my computer suddenly updated with the background colors from my phone and even some of the apps that are on my phone. Then, when there shouldn't have even been a login, there was and with two versions of me with the same outlook.com email address.

I really think this has something to do with my phone and os being linked.

If log into any device that uses the Microsoft Live Login. Your roaming profile syncs across all devices.

There was a video a few years ago about 8 & 10.

Just follow the instructions. Always make a backup of the registry before doing anything.

I shrink the registry, where I can still see where to go, then double check before I do anything.

If you just want to go in and see if that user is in there. It will not make any changes, because you are just searching for it.

I am having the problem mentioned in this thread. When I run

wmic useraccount get name,sid

the rouge login user account does not show up. I get

Administrator
DefaultAccount
Guest
HomeGroupUser$
(my name)

Is it possible that the phantom user account is buried in the DefaultAccount.

I have also downloaded belarc. It produces similar results to the above, i.e. no sign of the phantom login account.
