Windows 8.1 upgrade to 10 - No new accounts

[RJ Johnston]

Has anyone upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and then tried to create a new user account?

I can add a new account but cannot log on to the account. Only the accounts that existed before the upgrade can be accessed.

In another matter, I read that if you have more than 512 applications, then your Start Menu will be missing some entries. The programmer put a 512 record limit on the database that stores the Start Menu items. Microsoft is working on a solution. Many Start Menu items are shortcuts to help files, readmes, and links to websites. After deleting a lot of those excess shortcuts, my Start Menu made sense.

May this information be useful to someone here.
