   What is "defaultuser100000"

   I looked in my Users Folder to get to my Appdata, and I find the user called "defaultuser100000" when before it wasn't there, is this normal and should I be worried? :)

   DefaultUser100000 folder Hi, I am Van. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be glad to help you today. Kindly refer to the link below for more details about the issue. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-... Please scroll down and check out Soarin explanation. The defaultuser100000 folder is created when you click "I forgot my password" or "I forgot my PIN" in the lock screen. It creates a temporary user to let you access password recovery options. If you do it multiple times (sometimes I click that option by accident instead of "sign-in options"), it creates additional folders like defaultuser100000.YourComputerName, defaultuser100000.YourComputerName.000, and defaultuser100000.YourComputerName.000.001. It can also by some other factor, Like windows update, or a minor bug. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... You can manually delete it or it may be removed over time by the system. Before deleting it just make sure you have a back up in case something went wrong for assurance. I hope you find this useful. Do not hesitate to get back to us if you need further assistance. I am more than happy to help Best regards, Van

   TEMP.${SYSTEM_NAME}.XXX and defaultuser100000 under C:\Users That is not a proper option for me. I need my PC running and using a third party repairing tool could make everything worse. I ended up by only having the defaultuser100000 folder under C:\Users which is not listed as user account in netplwiz but is present in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ under the registry editor. The TEMP-folders seem to be gone.

   What is "defaultuser100000"

   DefaultUser100000 folder I recently accidentally pressed: forgot pincode On my login startup screen and now i see a folder called: DefaultUser100000 in my user oflder on my C drive. I was wondering how and what. So i logged out and pressed the button for forgot pincode again, because that's the only think i could think of, caused the folder to spawn. After that and logging back into my account, i saw a new folder together with the DefaultUser100000, called: DefaultUser100001.PC Which basically answered my question of, what caused them to spawn. My question here now is; can i safely delete those 2 folders from my C drive? Or do i need to go through a whole process of using the windows command thingy? I should also add, that both folders say that they have 0 items in them and are empty. And i only use my main account to login. Which never showed nor created such a folder aside of just called a folder named: User Thanks in advance. ^^
