Hi all.
I recently updated my windows 11 pro laptop to from 23H2 to 24H2 - mainly as I had some bluescreen errors - but have had a bit of a nightmare since.
The main issue is that during the update it automatically created an entirely new user with the name 'MyName_1v8th6u' and in doing so meant I had to reinstall a number of apps etc..
I now have two user folders:
c:\users\MyName (which I can't login as)
c:\users\MyName_1v8th6u
When I login it defaults to 'Other User' with no login details, meaning I have to select the correct user from the bottom left.
The MyName user is also taking up 200Gb of storage.
Any and all ideas welcome. I'm fairly proficient
Thanks
