C:\users\susan\

I didn't like my name was incomplete, it was "susan" insted of "susanta" in users folder. So i searched on internet to how to change it.

What I did: Win + r, searched "netplwiz", opened up a window called User Accounts, I select on the the only account(admin account), I click on properties, it opens up a new window allowing me to change my username, I change my username and click apply. But still the folder name is "susan". Then i can't find my account on the users list where I changed it. Then i think restart could solve my problem, But when i restart it won't boot up and can't auto repair.

Please help.please....

    Hi susan;

    I am sorry that didn't resolve the issue, let's try other options

    • Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
    • Press the power button again to turn on your device.
    • On the first sign that Windows has started (for example, some devices show the manufacturer’s logo when restarting) hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
    • Press the power button again to turn on your device.
    • When Windows restarts, hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
    • Press the power button again to turn on your device.
    • Allow your device to fully restart to enter WinRE.
    • Click "Troubleshoot" then click "Advanced options" then click "Startup Repair"
    • Finish the process of repairing and see if the machine is booting-up to windows 10

    Let me know if you need any assistance

    No it won't work. It says startup repair couldn't repair your pc and shows a log file: C\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt

    My sticky keys no longer work after making many (failed) attempts to try that route first.

    I can just suggest reading this article. If you are not sure or don't know the fix. Read the article entirely and try to only apply the fix that applies to your problem the most.

    https://windowsreport.com/corrupt-user-profile-windows-10/#:~:text=Corrupt%20User%20Profile%20in%20Windows%2010%20%5B6%20FIXES,Windows%2010%206%20Run%20an%20in-depth%20antivirus%20scan

    Fix corrupt user profile in Windows 10 in a few easy steps

    I keep forgetting to mention that if you have any recovery media available it's also easy to apply CMD features in that load recovery state. Like here;It requires Pressing Shift + F10(or windows + f10) http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winre/repaircommand/index.htm

    this is just the best index that i can find anyway

    And I know what you are talking about. I hate to learn common CMD mistakes in cases where I break a computer from the common UI. It's not that serious however. There is a reason the Administrator Icons are in place. Right now I am also just required to break computers to get the maintenance routines going. Just don't take that approach to a personal sustainability.

    For further support just download the current file. This file doesn't come with personal support and you will only be able to burn the image. I don't have any sources for USB creating tools right now. And this will provide the same information in the topic with repair functions or not. You can do a fresh install but I don't guarantee licensed transfer.
