Accidentally created another User
I was trying to follow the instructions to dispense with logging in with user name and password every time I boot up... went thru "netplwiz" and after unticking the requisite box and clicking OK it presented me with a user name I hadn't chosen (although it's part of my GMail address for MS sign-in) to add a password to twice, presumably to confirm I'm authorised to change the sign-in setting.
Concerned that I didn't recognise the username as one I'd chosen I typed in the one that Microsoft greets me with and then typed in twice the normal password (or so I thought).
Rebooted to test it was working and it was NOT! Tried to sign in and it said I'd entered the wrong password. Then noticed in the bottom left of my screen that there were 2 identical user names so I selected what I hoped was a different user and signed in OK with my old password on that.
I cannot find 2 users tho, to delete the unwanted one.
Please can someone sort me out so that I have only one user (me, as Admin) and so that I do not have to log in.

I must add... heaven knows why I'm finding it so difficult to set up this laptop when I've coped fine with Windows 10 on my others... except I'm a little bit older?
