When I try to sign in after a re-start there are 2 of me, one of which says my password is incorrect (there isn't one at all) and then requires I amend my user name (adding my surname) to sign in, both get to exactly the same place and there are only 2 users in the system - me and my husband. Only I am duplicated. Neither of us wants to use a password to sign in and both are local accounts.
I really want to get rid of the doppelgänger!!
We have been able seemingly to get rid of it temporarily but when I re-start the computer again 2nd "me" is back.
Tearing my hair out!!
HELP!!

It's possible that you're using a Microsoft account. After logging in, switch it back to a local account:
Click on the Start button and select Settings. Open "Accounts." Under "Your account," select the option to "Sign in with a local account instead."
Or sign in with a pin number PIN - Reset for your Account in Windows 10

I'm not, I do know the difference. I have in fact tried both - neither removes the 2nd "me"It's possible that you're using a Microsoft account. After logging in, switch it back to a local account:
Click on the Start button and select Settings. Open "Accounts." Under "Your account," select the option to "Sign in with a local account instead."
I don't want to use any password or PIN but I have tried it - 2nd "me" remains.Or sign in with a pin number PIN - Reset for your Account in Windows 10
By repeating all these steps again I appear to have removed 2nd "me", however only by accepting my user name as " First Name, Surname". I have renamed all the folders etc to "First Name" only so why do I still have to sign in as "First Name, Surname"?
Anything I'm missing here?
