User-account missing from "Manage Accounts" in windows-7 64bit

User-account missing from "Manage Accounts" in windows-7 64bit I recently installed windows-7 home premium 64-bit on my computer. I had two accounts on it. One admin account and one account of the type "homeuser" (I think it was).

"I just had the same issue on a Windows 7 Pro x64 box, and never had any issues on Windows 7 Ultimate x86/32bit version.

I will assume that it might be a 7 Pro issue, or bad port on Microsoft's part to x64 (or a bad software combo on a Lenovo due to all the tweaks they do with all the goofy bloatware software preinstalled.

I restored from scratch, did all updates, installed office, did all updates, set Admin passwd, enabled Admin account, rebooted. User wasn't available, but I used that user to do ALL UPDATES AND INSTALL ALL SOFTWARE. User was able to be seen in Computer Management, and not disabled account, yet could not see the user during logon, nor in CTRL PANEL in users.

Deleted the account through Comp. manage and recreated, and all is well (after deleteing the profile as well)..."

"Is there a way to either control the
state of an account and enable/disable
it without using ""Local Users and
Groups"" or if not is there a way hack
windows to enable ""Local Users and
Groups""?

yes, you can enable/disable a user account through the Windows registry, as described in this tutorial:

"I had an account that was part of the Administrators group. Once I removed it from that group I had the same issues. The solution was to add it to the Users group.

net localgroup Users [USER] /add"

"To share my experience too. I had problem that I couldn't login into user's account. In parental controls, user is visible and editable. I tried with registry and command prompt, even disabling and enabling visibility of account. Nothing worked. When I added registry SpecialAccount, the user disappeared from parental controls too.

If anyone had similar problem, this worked for me. I suggest checking where your user is a member of. So open this program:
C:\Windows\System32\lusrmgr.msc
And follow these steps, to add problematic user account into ""Users"" group, not just ""HomeUsers"":
