Hello @kyojin,
Welcome to TenForums.

I would advise CAUTION !

Have a look at these . . .

I hope this helps.

Hello kyojin, and welcome.

Did you set up netplwiz to automatically sign in to your account at startup by chance?

If you did, and later made a change to the password, username, or computer name, it can cause you to see a duplicate of this account at startup since netplwiz can no longer automatically sign in.

If this is the case, then you can either set up netplwiz again to update it, or check Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer in netplwiz.

You shouldn't see the double account at startup if the box is checked in netplwiz.

I had occasion to fix such an issue just a couple months ago, user had added a second account but used the exact same information as the first, all the data ended up in the same folders in C:\Users\USERNAME, couldn't delete either one without losing all data. After all the possible solutions failed the final solution was saving all his data and reinstalling Windows. Bottom line for him, discussed using at least a one-character difference between two similar things.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

Setting up netplwiz again with your account and password (not PIN) like in step 4 of option 1 should do it.
