    Changed user folder name on clean install


    Hi

    Has anyone else had the clean option, drop the last character of their user folder during the install?

    Example, my user folder was called Julian on 8.1 Therefore c:\Users\Julian\Desktop blah blah blah.... Well now its c:\users\julia\xxxxxxx

    Somewhat annoying... Enough so for me to do a reformat and complete wipe and clean install.

    HOWEVER now my Microsoft account must of caught wind of this new path and my new clean install is still Julia

    I'm about to reformat again.... perhaps try a local account first, then merge it my Microsoft account... Unless someone else has any suggestions.

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I just reformatted, signed in as a local user, using my name, which then created the correct path, then merged it in with my Microsoft account.. So all set.
