I have been using a USB fingerprint reader to sign in to multiple accounts using Windows Hello on my PC. I am logged into a domain account (without admin rights), with the other account being a local user (with admin rights), whose user name I changed using Edit local users and groups by right-clicking the user and pressing Rename.
After this change, I am no longer able to use Windows Hello to sign into this local account when running any application as administrator. If I use the finger associated with the local account, the UAC window will briefly flash with the correct full name of the user account, but then gives me a The user name or password is incorrect message, with the old user name.
- If I type in the new user name and password manually, it works fine;
- I have logged into the account, removed the fingerprints and PIN and re-added them, but the error persists;
- Before I changed the user name, I could use Windows Hello for both accounts;
- If I change back the user name, it works again.
How can I keep using Windows Hello to sign into this local account after changing the user name?
