I have installed windows 10 pro with first account which has some login and is under my name. But after some time I saw there is one more account under my name which I cannot edit in lusrmgr because it is invisible there. I can see this account for example at security tab of some start folders. How can I manage to have just one account there? Or if not possible, how to add zero rights to the second one?
I have no use case for the second one.
For example I have two accounts on my computer. Lets suppose my name is John Travolta. My initial account which I created is ABCDE/jtrav
. On some folders, especially at start menu, I see there are two accounts with some rights on it.
First one is ABCDE/jtrav and second one is "John Travolta" and it has different rights to that folder.

What you describe is perfectly normally. When you created your account a local account that exists on your machine was created. The account
jtrav
was created on a machine calledABCDE. A new account was also created when you linked
jtrav` to your Microsoft Account.You could remove
jtrav
from the ACL if you wanted, but I don't suggest you do that, it has permissions in the event you unlink your Microsoft Account. You should proceed with caution if you go against this recommendation.ABCDE/jtrav
indicates the account only exists on that specific machine while John Travolta is an indication the account is linked to a Microsoft Account. They are the same exact account. Once you link a local account to a Microsoft Account, only the Microsoft Account can be managed,ABCDE/jtrav
still technically exists but it cannot be used to access your system.It's unnecessary to modify the permissions of
ABCDE/jtrav
especially on a folder like the Start Menu.
