Hello, I am trying to change Windows 11 PC name.
When I open CMD or navigate to C:\Users They both display the incorrect PC name.
I went into settings and click change PC name but this still shows incorrect PC name.
How can I fix this issue?
Hello mate,
Just to confirm, did you restart the computer to apply the new computer name?

Just to also confirm, do you mean the name of your account's user profile folder instead of computer name since you mention inside the "C:\Users" folder?

Also, yes. The user folder is displaying the incorrect PC name. So, I will look into the article you posted.
Right click My Computer, click Properties, select Rename This PC or go to Control Panel and select System and pick the same option.
Or right-click the Start/WinKey button, click System and Rename.
Update: decided to change the name.
