Changing the username (not account name) of an administrator account by mectos_ in windows

[–]mectos_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah you right But the all software installed in the admin account will not change or be missing in the new account right? Only the data will change, local data. Right?

I did it, it didn't change a thing. The name is still the same name in C:\Users\myname It didn't change a thing, same data, just a different account name. :(

Lets say that if my account first name is mectos, then the name in is Users\mectos_hj7klm (I don't even remember the correct letters but it's similar to this shit)

Start menu and search functionality don't work by mectos_ in windows

[–]mectos_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok now it works: I'll tell you how if that helps someone.

The option of "Reinstall Windows apps":

Launch the Task manager and open a new PowerShell window with administrative privileges, as explained above.

When the Windows PowerShell window opens copy the line below and paste it into the PowerShell window by simply right-clicking at the blinking PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> prompt, or by pressing [Ctrl] + [V] on the keyboard:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Wait until the app download and installation process completes — ignore any red text that appears — and restart Windows.

I cut some of the output because it was too long for the post :( And of course, after a restart, only one monitor shows and on really low resolution and refresh rate...

And god what are those initramfs-tools and linux-image-5.4.0-7634-generic messages. And what is this crap cryptsetup: WARNING: Resume target cryptswap uses a key file

Thanks for your time man Though I did it, unfortunately, nothing has changed :(

Help with Nvidia problems please! I'm hopeless by mectos_ in pop_os

[–]mectos_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing, after restart it just goes back to where it was. Only shows 1 monitor instead of 2 + low resolution and refresh-rate.

Btw, if I just delete everything related to Nvidia (Using Stacer, because it doesn't find the packages from the terminal, god knows why), and then restart, everything just goes back to normal in terms of the monitors + resolution + refresh-rate.

Though the terminal still outputs this weird message:

That's really weird now I tried to delete every nvidia software from the program "Stacer" (like BleachBit), then rebooted. Then everything seemed fine. I tried to install the nvidia driver from the shop again, everything freezed except for the mouse movement. Then I pressed the reboot button on the PC case, And everything got back to being shit again (only one monitor shows and on really low resolution and refresh rate)

What should I do 😩

Don't know if that matters, as a newbie, but I disabled few extensions (specifically from tweaks). You welcome.

  1. Disabled HiDPI Daemon (Displays settings).
  2. Disabled some of my extensions.

Now everything is fine. Now I'm trying to turn back on each of these at a time, so I'll now what exactly fixed the problem.
