Windows noticed the joke your parents did when creating your name. Windows tought it was a good joke, and ran with it? Doubt you can catch up, might need to do a clean install.

If your username is over 5 characters long it will be truncated to 5.  I've never seen what happens when it is under 4... I guess it repeats the last?  idk.  Regardless reinstalling with all the same settings isn't going to change anything.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Yeah why does it matter what the pc name is?

it's not the hostname, it's the user folder name

Not sure if this will work on W10 & this particular case, but a while ago I just created a new user/admin, deleted the old acc. folder's and then switched back.

I think that's only when creating an online account. If you create an offline account, it will make the user folder name exactly as a person wrote it, just as previous Windows versions did.
