Strange phantom user accounts after upgrade from Windows 7 to 10
I have a strange problem with a PC that I just upgraded from Windows 7 Home to Windows 10. This is the third PC in my family that I have done the upgrade but the only one to exhibit this problem. The system has 5 registered user accounts, but on the login screen after the system boots, these 5, plus 5 others all called "password" show up. See the picture below. These accounts don't show up in the user account administration settings or using netplwiz. They appear to be sort of like shortcuts to the real accounts because each one when selected, will actually login to one of the real users. I am stumped and don't know how to fix this. Has anyone else seen this? The PC is a Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop. Could the facial recognition feature (which I am not using) cause this? I also tried doing a clean boot (as suggested from the MS forum), but it made no difference
Thanks!
