Windows 10 - Can't add Another User

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

As per the issue description you are willing to create new user profile but could not do that. For creating new user profile you should be logged in as an Administrator. Here are the steps which might help you to create new user profile. 

• Press Windows key + R

• Type control userpasswords2 and click OK

• Click on add under users tab

• Click the option, "Sign-in without a Microsoft account

• Click on Local account 

• Choose a name for the account

• Add password if you want to

• Apply and click OK.

For more information you may refer to the article mentioned below and see if it helps.

Not working for me!!!!

Why would you make it so complicated.

I have the same problem. I have tried to click on ADD SOMEONE ELSE TO PC I can't. It does not go through. Really frustrating. I have tried to restore the computer, and reset it. No luck. All in all, If I can't add users to windows it's useless. 

Exists one way more to add a new user in Windows 10. Press Windows key + R. Choose System (computer) Management. Later You choose part Users and Group. And for the end, You can add a new user.

Basis on my experience, Your first login must be done from Safe Mode of Windows 10 (press F8 and later 4 during boot).

Later, after reboot, You can use normally a new account.

Hi,

Thank you.  This work around worked like charm.  Added, my son to my POC in no time.

I have performed the procedure Ramesh.Kumar outlined yet when I restart my computer I still only see my original administrator account. I never see the new one I created. 

I see JAGLOT  has stated there might be a need for a restart into safe mode for my initial log-in on the new account, I will try this now. 

edit:

even during safe mode reboot I could not see my new account.

I notice that even after using Ramesh.Kumar method of adding a new user with run command hack, I see the new user listed there but not in the user accounts section pictures below.

run command: control userpasswords2

new account is not visable through the normal gui options

i contacted tech for microsoft got the fix, i put on new thread.

this is fix
