User Account Confusions
I am back from holiday but someone on course had Covid like symptons on last day and so I am stuck in
quarantine until next Monday. I have managed to get hold of my laptop in the last couple of days but am waiting for the all clear before I start on your instructions. Everything is a bit upside down as I have 2 house guests who cant afford to risk catching it ! I have no symptoms so far and have been getting negative results from flow tests and have had both jabs !

I had difficulty finding Windows PowerShell. It was not available on Start Menu or via Windows Icon. I eventually tracked it down on a User Account but it rejected the command you gave wmic useraccount sid. I have been trying to send a screenshot of the result but cannot do so. I can open the clipboard so the shot is visible but I cannot copy and paste it or save it. The only menu given is delete or pin and pin does nothing. Selecting with the mouse simply removes the picture until I bring it back up. Clicking on empty desktop area and using Ctrl Copy and Paste or simple Paste does nothing.
The link to Powershell is simply named: Windows Powershell .
Sorry I am stuck !

Found clipboard screenshot in This PC Pictures. This image gets worse the more I mess with it. So I will leave it as it is.

Don't you see this when you right-click on the Start button?
I'd also expect you to see this near the bottom of the Start menu itself.

And in the PowerShell window, you should be able to paste the command straight in [to avoid typos] by right-clicking where you have drawn those two purple dots.
Ignore my colours, that's just something I added myself.
You can use the normal PS window, you don't need to make it the Admin one but that should also work.
Then just press the Return key.
You can also use the relevant command in the Command prompt. I referred to PS because that is now the default in the Start button, right-click menu.

Short answer is No. Adding to the Windows PowerShell window I have posted above results in wmic yellow text which I presume indicates something is wrong. If I leave wmic out and try useraccount same thing happens.
