Deleted user still visible in start screen

[General Domel]

I deleted a user account from the User Administration. Mysteriously, this user is still shown in the start screen after rebooting Win 10 and, which is the most annoying part, it is the default one that the keyword entry routine would call up. How do I get rid of this orphaned user entry?

Hi General Dornel,

You could try the following { for this example I'll pretend the user you want gone is Joe}:

• Right-click on Start
• Left-click on Command Prompt (Admin)
• When User Account Control appears click Yes
• You'll now see the Administrator: Command Prompt window:
  • In this window type net user then press Enter key to display users
  • If the User you want gone is still showing then type:
    
    

    net user Joe /delete

    Press Enter key to execute
    
    
  • Now to ensure its not showing on login page type:
    
    

    net user Joe /active:no

    Press Enter key to execute

Regards,

The delete user is not showing up there. Yet it shows up in the start screen all the time.
