    Capitalization of account name is wrong


    Hi
    When I set up my account I used the wrong capitalization and since then I have changed this everywhere I could find, but this single place still has the wrong version. It is driving me crazy. For instance, when I view my Settings Page, my Profile name and email address shows on the top left corner of the page, where is this value pulled from? See attached image.

    How do I change this?

    Hello Ronel, and welcome.

    Since this is for a Microsoft account, check using option one in the tutorial below if it may change the name to what you want.
