    Duplicate account under "Your Info"


    Hi.

    Today I noticed that I have two identical accounts in Settings. Both have the same name and same e-mail address. One just doesn't have a profile picture. Any idea where the second one came from and how to get rid of it?

    Windows version 20H2.

    Thanks!

    It's most like just a duplicate, and not a separate account with the same info. I know that sounds like the same thing, but it's not. I've had up to three of them showing at once. Somehow Windows catches something that adds/updates the account. See if this helps remove the one(s) not wanted. For me it was just a matter of keeping just one picture.
