Login to Desktop after email address change...?

Dinarius

I have just changed my email address.


Now, when I start my Windows 10 desktop, I get a message saying, "The username or password is incorrect. Try again."


1. It used never require a password on Startup, only after waking from Sleep.


2. When I click Ok, to the password prompt, I get two accounts (both my name) to login to.


If I click one of those and input password, login prompts with old email address. If I change it to new email I can login. But, after each bootup it reverts to prompting for password with old email address.


If I click the other account, login only asks for password (not email also) and the computer starts up.


But, in User Accounts, there is only one account listed. The one I thought I had.


How can I get back to no password required on startup?


Thanks.

Sorted.

And it's not obvious..

Seems like it's a Windows 10 glitch.

Anyway, the second solution here worked.

I deleted one of the accounts and unchecked the password required box.

Starts without a sign-in prompt now.

You should really have a password on your laptop incase it gets stolen.
