    How to create new Admin account


    I am having a horrible problem with uninstalling a printer. Talked to MS and Canon with no remedy. Canon mentioned to create new admin account to create new registry. They feel something is deeply embedded and hanging up printer somehow.

    Pls advise on how to create new admin acct.

    Thanks in advance.

    Option Three here:
    User Account - Add in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Make sure you are following the steps in Option Three.
    Then make sure to do step 7 under Option Three after the new account is created.

    Well, I have tried all the steps mentioned above. The Canon MX 850 (old) printer still shows in Devices and Printers even though the Canon MX 492 (new) printer is connected. Can print Word test document on new printer. I even went into regedit and deleted the one reference to MX 850 after using the Find feature. I am lost on how to proceed.

    I would suggest you start a new thread about "How to delete printer in devices?" in the Hardware and Drivers subforum. The only thing I can suggest is maybe try removing it in safe mode.
