Windows 10 tries to login to a nonexistent account on startup.

Every time my computer boots windows tries to login into a user account that, near as I can tell, doesn't exist, at least not locally anyhow. Using command prompt and the command "net user" yields only my account plus the Default Account, Administrator, and Guest accounts. This mystery account is also not visible in any settings menu. What the hell is going on? My best guess is that it's whats left over from a Microsoft account I used to use before I switched to a local one and closed my account, not just on the machine like actually closed it with Microsoft. I solved this before by setting up my local account to not have a password but now I want to do some remote stuff and a password is needed for that. I should also add that if I sign out of my account the mystery account is not visible on the login page

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
