is your main account a local one or one of those online things?

My account is a local one and it's not part of a domain. It's my development machine and I don't log into anything online for it. I thought that it could be a Microsoft cloud account, but I don't use it and I don't log into Microsoft on this box. It wouldn't bother me so much if it didn't have a complete user profile, but since it's administrator with complete access to the machine, it concerns me that there is a way into the box outside my control.

Hmmm, I have seen this with account if linked to Office 365 & Visual Studio latest (2018??). I think it's so you log on remotely?...

I thought that as well, but I don't have Office of any kind on the machine and I'm using VS2013. It showed up on an update previous to last Thursday's update.

once again ms ass-u-me to know what we want or in fact must have, and just go ahead and do it.

Agreed, but if I don't have the password, how can I use it to remote in?

When you click on the user profile folder in Explorer, does it not give you the opportunity to take ownership?
If not, try to explicitly launch explorer.exe as an administrator, then select the folder, Properties, Security, Advanced. See if there's anything you can do there to take over.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Have you ever logged into the same Microsoft account you used to activate your laptop from your work computer? Or vice versa?
|
|
|
|

No, that's what's concerning me. It's a new machine and just starting programming on it. I noticed the account after I started having issues with Access Denied errors in Visual Studio opening and saving files. I was logged into my local account, but it was trying to save to this new account.

Obviously, somehow MS discovered the link between the two accounts and decided to be too helpful. MS does like to be too helpful, and we are living in the era of run-away AI, after all.

Obviously!
I do think that both accounts are linked, but not sure how.

It's not a customized IIS app pool identity is it? Those are the only other accounts that show here on my system which also have full profiles.

It could be. I'm writing a Web MVC service, but where did it get dhutchings from? I would have thought it would use some other type of username.

Thanks for the link.
I'll do a little more research into it and see if SQL Server is the culprit.

Could be office 365, if your company is a partner.

Imagine a speed dating event with 100 guys and 20 girls. Except it wasn't guy&girl kinda event. Not exactly guy&guy either.
It was the engineer meet new employers kind. Apparently this HackerX thing is huge. From Edinburgh to Vegas.
Sit in line for an hour and then chat with three companies, 5 minutes each. Free pizza and beer. I cannot quite decide how I felt about the whole thing, but I sure didnt fancy going into the second line. Have you done something similar?
