    Login Screen Only Showing One Account


    On my computer I have two accounts, Admin and user. Recently, whenever I have started up my computer, all that shows on the login screen is admin. I have to restart it ~50 times to get it to show my personal user account. Any suggestions on how to fix this???

    I run Windows 7 home edition.

    Hello Sciaz, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Double check using the tutorial below to make sure that the user account hasn't been disabled.

    Hope this helps, :)

    My account is active. I even did the command to confirm it is active still (/net user 'my name' /active:yes). I believe that was it, but I copied it off of the tutorial you linked me. I restarted my computer and, again, only the Admin account is shown.

    In that case, check Method Two in the tutorial below to see if you have the SpecialAccounts key like at step 5. If you do delete it and see if it's on the log on screen afterwards.

    I checked and I do not have the SpecialAccounts key there. Also, when I booted my computer, I saw my other account and thought it was fixed. I restarted to be sure, and I was back at the admin screen. I now know we haven't fixed it just yet.

    If you like, you could try doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this happened to hopefully undo and fix it for you.
