User accounts are an essential part of Windows. A user account offers every computer user the opportunity to log in to Windows and load personal settings.
With a specific setting it is possible to create a user account in Windows that is not immediately visible. A Windows account can be created in Windows itself but also via third-party applications. An account created via an external application does not have to be immediately visible in Windows.
In this article you will find 5 tips to display all users created on the computer.

Hallo,
I have a popup that says I don't have permission to move a file from folder to USB stick.
I am an administrator.
What am I still lacking and how can I achieve that?
Thanks in advance,
Cyril
Hallo,
Check the permissions of the file you are trying to move. Right-click on the file, go to 'Properties', and then go to the 'Security' tab. Here you can see what rights you have for that file. If you do not have the necessary permissions, you can change them as an administrator. In addition, some USB drives have a physical switch for write protection. Make sure it is not enabled.
If your USB drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system, it cannot hold files larger than 4 GB. If the file you are trying to move is larger than this, you will need to reformat the USB to a different file system such as NTFS or exFAT (note: formatting will delete all data on the drive!).
Success!
Dear Stephen,
thank you for your fast response.
The world has now changed under my hands.
I have not found the file again after several attempts to move it. I left it to the experts.
I will keep your recommendations in mind.
Thanks again.
Greetings Cyriel
