So many Windows Accounts, Why and What does it all mean? - Microsoft Community


hi microsoft community,

i have relatively fresh computer/windows 10 home install. when @ user folders (c:\users), see 4 folders. "default.migrated", "micro", "public", , hidden folder, "default". emphasis on caps/nocaps, dots , spelling listed in users folder. "micro" caught eye, because not recall using user name on first use, may have. either way, more concerning me of these other folders, including "default.migrated" next hidden "default" account. on top of this, default "documents" folder left not folder icon used be. can see in image below.

now, on top of this, when accounts in command prompt, following; "administrator", "defaultaccount", "guest", , "micro". so, command prompt accounts not match users folder accounts. in past i've noticed windows creating more 1 account log into, , felt strange, superfluous, , buggy. 

so, community, normal windows or have potential hack or bug on hands?

when person use computer, , there no guests using it, why need of these additional accounts , for?

why "documents" folder icon different of other folders? 

so many more questions.... hope can help.

the folders see called "profile folders". not accounts.

to see accounts can open command prompt cmd.exe, type command:

net  users
