Posted September 2, 2017 -I wake up and boot the pc to start my day as has been the ritual for 20 years. -I'm greeted with a wallpaper, my REAL first and last name and my google email and a password box. -I go WTF! -I try to continue without putting a password, no cigar. -i type in my google password because it had my google email above it, wrong password of course. -Now I'm stuck, locked out of my own pc and i have to work on it. Anyone know how to fix this? It is also weird how Microsoft knows my real name. I never ever used my real name online or even on my pc offline, always a false name. I run spybot antibeacon to block Microsoft ip's and also donotspy10. i also deleted most apps including the windows app store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't remember that password, reset it on another PC. I edit my posts a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 3, 2017 Call Microsoft or do an online chat (I'd recommend that because it is less of a wait and costs practically nothing) and see if they'll lift it or something, not sure how all this happened because that is the definition of creepy as all heck.

Posted September 4, 2017 Something's similar happened to me when I signed into the Xbox app. Do you have Xbox live? Skype? Any accounts you recently signed into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
