After changing user name via netplwiz method, it reverts on reboot.
Hi,
Win 10 1803
I have used the netplwiz method and it did change the name, however a couple of reboots and it came back to the previous name which happens to be my Microsoft name. The pin is used not a password.
After I make the change, when I go thru settings, I see that it is still my name although it does show the changed name in the left lower corner options as I sign in.
Trouble is this box is not for me, it is for another person although I set it up.
I don't want to use the Microsoft account method unless I know for sure it just changes this computer user name NOT my own Windows account which is connected to my own boxes.
How should I do this?
BTW I used this method from within the account I want to change and yes it is an Admin account and also from the first account that was set up on Win install.
