    Second user suddenly appeared using same name on sign in


    Can anyone tell me why a second user suddenly appeared on my sign in screen?
    The user has my same name but no profile picture. It only gives a option to enter a password, however, my password does not work.
    Have I maybe been hacked or could there have possibly been a problem with a recent windows 10 update? Any ideas?

    There is an old thread on this problem - try Brink's solution - Duplicate user name at login

    Thank you, but that seems to be referring to having made changes to my computer name or something, and I have made no changes. I do not have it set to automatically log me into my windows account either.

    I am beginning to strongly believe my computer may have been hacked. What would you suggest I do about possibly having been hacked. I have ran several complete scans with anti-virus and ran the Windows malware remover as well. Nothing is showing up but I know that sometimes they can be hard to find and remove.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for responding.
