Did you rename your user name?

Hi Obaid,<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping.<br />
<br />
I don't know how it happened. &nbsp;I did not rename my user name. It's a relatively new computer. &nbsp;The name of the User is &quot;Giga&quot;. (I have a Gigabyte computer). &nbsp;But in the user control panel there &nbsp;is no user named &nbsp;Giga&quot;&quot;.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;But my username &quot;Rowby&quot; is there. &nbsp; I see no place in &quot;Rowby&quot; to change the (i guess) properties so that its folder name is also &quot;Rowby&quot;.<br />
<br />
Very weird! :)<br />

Are you using a Microsoft Account and does the name reflect your Microsoft Account?

<div>
I will suggest, create a backup before taking any step!

Thanks all. &nbsp;I was able to change the user name. &nbsp;And now things are back to WIndows Normal. :)<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
Using Windows 10 Home version. &nbsp;My user name in the Control Panel is Rowby. &nbsp;But in WIndows Explorer, in the User Folder I have a different name. &nbsp;The name &quot;Rowby&quot; does not exist in the User folder. &nbsp;How can I change the folder so that it matches my User Name Rowby.<br />
<br />
I don't see any place to do that in the control panel. &nbsp; Perhaps I need to edit the Registry?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hi

Using Windows 10 Home version.  My user name in the Control Panel is Rowby.  But in WIndows Explorer, in the User Folder I have a different name.  The name "Rowby" does not exist in the User folder.  How can I change the folder so that it matches my User Name Rowby.

I don't see any place to do that in the control panel.   Perhaps I need to edit the Registry?

Thanks!
