my user accounts woes continues

I've asked about the confusing user accounts in windows before ,and thought I got a grasp on it.
but now I want to know what's wrong with this setup...
I've got 5 acc on this pc , admin (me) , then local (me) , and 3 of my kids , 2 of which is local the 3rd a MS acc.
when I installed win10 on here I used my son's MS acc , then made myself admin (which now looks like its a local...)
when I log in under my local acc (j_p) , it seems the MS acc is active.
I'm usually the only 1 using this pc ,logged in with j_p , hardly ever log into admin.
thing is , the other day I logged into admin and found there's like 100s of stuff in the recycle bin...
I usually delete stuff from recycle bin as soon as it goes in. (from my j_p acc.)

I know this all sound confusing. Is the setup OK ,or how can make the MS acc,also a local, if even possible?




last image is of settings when i'm logged into j_p local account ...but it shows my son's MS acc

i'm confuzzed lol

PS: all 4 accounts except admin ,is standard . if that means anything , isn't local and standard same thing?

No.
The Admin/Standard choice is not at all related to the local / MSAccount-linked choice.
You can have a local user account that is Admin.
You can have a local user account that is Standard.
You can have an MSAccount-linked user account that is Admin.
You can have an MSAccount-linked user account that is Standard.

just as confusing as it is for you it is confusing for others. I think to make it easier for people to follow don't mention the other accounts only the ones that present issues.

JP account is showing the same image on the settings page as it is on the account page but has you sons credentials which agreed is strange.

Type whoami in a cmd window on the jp account. followed by net user and show a screen shot.

here you go



dunno what any of that mean , is something wrong ?
ps: dylan has the MS account

It is merely a list of user account UserNames. Take no notice of DefaultAccount & WDAGUtilityAccount as they are objects used by Windows and not real user accounts at all.
Guest is disabled by default [it was found to be a security vulnerability].
Administrator is disabled by default. It is the Built-in Admin and has no powers beyond those enjoyed by any Admin account you have created yourself.

You can go further in looking at user account properties. Just for example, enter

Code:

net user j_p

and possibly compare its response to

Code:

net user "admin.jp"

{spaces in UserNames force use of "" and I assume full stops do as well but have never tested that.}

thanks for the help so far

malneb,

I'm sorry to disagree but that last post is seriously incorrect.
- There is no user group j_p. You are reading things into the net user response that are simply not there.
- The default account is not in any sense the "main account" or any other form of user account. It exists purely as part of the mechanism Windows uses in the creation of new user accounts.
- Dylan is not a guest of anything. You are reading things into the net user response that are simply not there.
The net user response is no more than a list of usernames. It does not show user groups and it does not show anything as belonging to anything else. It's just a list.

Nothing in the net user response indicates that there is anything wrong with the user accounts.


All the best,
Denis

think i solved this
in my j_p account ,under settings - accounts - my info , there was an option that said "sign out of all microsoft ...something something...".
signed out ,and now my things look normal again

think somehow i was linked or signed into Dylan's MS acc....( i do sometimes sign into his MS acc from my user account)

pretty simple solution it turned out , i feel stupid now

thanks for the help guys

1 last question ,not very important ...
if any user deletes stuff and it goes to recycle bin,does it also go to recycle bin of admin?
cause like i said i hardly ever sign into admin but when i did the other day ,the recycle bin had 100s of entries .
i should have looked to see what thy were but i didn't lol i just emptied

- - - Updated - - -

ok nevermind , i checked recycle bin in admin acc now again ,after i uninstalled some programs.
there were 125 508 files (9.8GB) in recycle bin ....that's crazy.
all of em from the programs that i uninstalled. Why oh why does it get dumbed in recycle bin after uninstallation? surely that can't be right?

update: ok saw now Revo by default delete files/folders to recycle bin...odd...
why would i want 10GB of data sitting in recycle bin after i got rid of programs

unchecked that box in a hurry
