Lost myWin10 User Partition Name

Several can share the same database and sync to the cloud. I use Roboform - I use it on Windows and Android and in multiple browsers. It's the only one I've found that can pop up a prompt where characters must be manually filled (e.g. 1/3/6 from password on drop downs or similar). (I got a special low cost 5 year deal).

Then Lastpass is another that syncs across devices.

Some have reservations about security and prefer to keep thing local.

Typically the free version is a single device with limitations; licensed to get full features.

I think we're trying to determine what actual user accounts are still listed
- noted folder C:/Users/User you say exists and appears to look normal.

... you will have to wait for your screenshots until tomorrow.

Fair enough.

1 Do note that, for each of the net user commands, you could just hold down your mouse button then move it across all the text, press ctrl-c and paste it all into a text file.
You'd then be able to overtype your real username with user if you wanted to before posting the text here.

2 And, as for screenshots, study the tutorial link I gave you but, to my mind, the simplest method of taking a screenshot is,

Press WinKey-PrintScrn unless your keyboard has a Fn key in which case you'll probably have to press WinKey-Fn-PrintScrn
then paste this straight into the File explorer address bar
C:\Users\%UserName%\Pictures\Screenshots
[This folder is created when you take your first Screenshot]

and you will find all your screenshots. This is described in the tutorial.
As you'll see, there are a variety of ways of capturing screen images. I often use the Snipping tool
my ditty - A basic guide to using the Snipping tool - TenForums

3 And [you'll find this explained in the second tutorial link] I find that the simplest & best way to post a diagram here is, in the post's editing toolbar , click on the icon then browse to your diagram, select it and click on OK.

Best of luck,
Denis

My comments:
1) I've no idea what defaultuser0 is. It was there when I nistalled Windows.
2) I've no idea what defaultuser0 does.
3) The Guest under net user, jopay has never used this account. It could be deleted
4) Also in net user, you can see there is no USER account
5) The net user USER seems to show my USER account which cannot be accessed
6) The net user admin seems to show my ADMIN account whch can be accessed
7) The past and copy to a file was not easy to figure out, and after I had and copied and pasted to here, it needed considerable editing to make it readable again. But it will be well worth it if it helps to recover my User Account.

I don't actually need to show this. It can be shown from the net user statements above (I think). It has 2 users Admin and USER (not the real name) So it's stating I have two users, but I only have access to the Admin, and boots to Admin where it used to boot to USER. But this give me some hope that I might be able to recover the USER user.

Good luck!

I've numbered these points because I thought this post was long and confusing. I hope it helps your reply.

1 I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused by this.
1.1 Are you saying that your net user response was

Code:

Administrator                           DefaultAccount           defaultuser0
Guest                                        jopay                    USER

1.2 or

Code:

Administrator                           DefaultAccount           defaultuser0
Guest                                        jopay

1.3 The USER account must exist because its net user USER response was there.
1.4 It is not disabled, it is Active. [But clearly defective]
1.5 But I do note that its last logged in time appears to be this morning [your morning, 2022-01-25 10:03:12 AM] This puzzles me.
1.6 I think it must be an MSAccount-linked user account but I'd still recommend, for the time being, creating replacement accounts that are local accounts.

Then use Administrator to create one or two new Admin accounts and start logging into one of them instead.

2 Do you know how to make File explorer display hidden & system files?

File explorer, View menu, Options, View
Set Show hidden files, folders & drives
Clear Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
{Return it to normal fairly soon because it does give some protection against finger-trouble.}

Does the C:\Users\USER folder now appear?

3 Is it shown in your recycle bin?

4 I do not think you could possibly have caused this mess.
4.1 I think Windows would stop any user deleting their own user folder despite the fact that the relevant permissions do exist for that.
4.2 Only another Admin account [or action taken outside Windows] should be able to delete that folder.
4.3 I assume you haven't been working in, say, another bootup disk such as a Windows InstallUSB because that would have no problem deleting your user folder.
4.4 Possible malware

I suspect malware.

5 Backups?

Try3 said:

You should not expect to get any files back from your old user account. I'm sorry but that's what I think. What backups do you have?

6 Ancillary issues

6.1 defaultuser0 is an accidental left-over from when your computer maker's set up of your computer. It should be deleted at the end of the process but several people find it still hanging around. It can be deleted but it is not at all significant so I suggest just making a note to do so after everything else has been dealt with.
Delete User Account - TenForumsTutorials

6.2 Guest should be left alone. It is disabled as you'd see if you ran the command net user Guest - it has the entry Active - No. Windows 10 makes Guest but disables it because it is regarded as a security vulnerability if enabled. I imagine it's still hanging around to assist with backwards compatibility.

6.3 jopay can be deleted if you wish but I'd wait to resolve the current situation as far as is possible first.

6.4 "The net user admin seems to show my ADMIN account" Just be a bit careful with references to this one. It is not your account but Windows'. I always try to remember to write it out in full as the account with the username Administrator or the Built-in Admin account to ensure there are no misunderstandings.

6.5 "The past and copy to a file was not easy to figure out" Yes, it can be a pain.


And I really am sorry to be the bearer of bad news,
Denis

You have been asked to provide screenshots of your disk layout and folder structure, expanding the relevant folder nests so that people who want to help you can see better what the issue may be, you have been given instruction on how to provide the screenshots, and how to mask personal descriptors, so far you have not done any of that.
You are still using the terms folder, partition and user confusingly, making it hard for anyone to keep up.
Please take into account that 'we' cannot see what you are looking at. If you had provided the asked for screenshots and information in the manner requested I am sure this issue could have been solved a lot sooner.
