Resolved Win 10 desktop screen flashing

Ok, I signed into the Administrator user. No flashing on this desktop!
I guess I've never understood "users" very much. So none of his named user pictures, docs, favorites, etc are listed in the Admin user area. Can we move all of his personal named user info over to the Admin user and move on from there? How do we do transfer then?

 

Before I do these.... When I transfer the user profile data I won't transfer the issue that's caused the desktop flashing to begin with?


Also, confused that when I click on the "edit, add, or remove other users" I get the settings box but it only has "other people" as a choice to "add someone to this PC"...not the "family and other users" choice per the howtogeek site. When I click on Other People and then on Add someone else to this PC, I get a box that is labeled lusrmgr which shows Users and Groups. Not the box on HTG showing where to start adding the user.

 

I did try to remove the apps before. Couldn't type in Powershell with the named user acct. Did do it in the Administrator user Powershell, running it as Administrator. Typing the
"Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online" into the command line. It ran and then I restarted and went into the named user acct and it was still flashing.

 

Back from holiday break. Just ran the two commands in Powershell and flashing continues. So now new user profile work. Thanks again for help.

 

No. This is where I go to add a new user and run into the lusrmgr box instead of the page where you can add a new user. Like I said, when I search "user" in the start-run I get the settings. In settings on the left is "other people", not "family and other users". When clicking on the Add someone else to this PC under "other people" it doesn't take me to the box How will this person sign in?. It goes to that lusrmgr box showing Users and Groups. Don't see a way in there to add a new user either. ??

 

Actually this page describes what seems to be going on with me. Like there's a mixed up Win 10 version thingy. Don't really follow the discussion past 1/2 way down the page! My friend's system page shows Win 10 Pro now that I look at it, when it should have been Home I think, as it is an upgrade from a Win 7 Premium.

Solved Family & Other Users does not appear in Settings - Accounts - Windows 10 Forums

 

Ok, I stumbled on getting to that 'add user' page by running netplwiz from the run box! Let's see how things go....
Added a new user and deleted the contents of that one and am now copying the contents of the old user acct into the new one.


Everything's up and running, thanks.
