I went to use my PC today and started it only find that my user profile had vanished, it was there yesterday, only other users visible. I did the normal solution to a windows problem and restarted. Nope still not there. My account is as administrator and Iam looking at how I can recover myself.

Hi Nackers,

Welcome to the Forum.

If you are able to login in with another user name you can try the following:
  • Right-click on Start
  • Left-click on Command Prompt (Admin)
  • When the 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 your Administrator user you want back is listed then type the following to reactivate it:

      Code:
      net user Administrator /active:yes
      Press Enter key to execute

      Note: Replace Administrator with the username you are wanting to see on login page. If you typed the above command as is that would activate the built-in Administrator Windows 10 has which would appear now on login page.

Regards,

Thanks Regedit32.
My user name is listed and I have used your suggested fix, restarted the PC but no chocolates. All other users are still showing on startup but not me.
