I just bought a new laptop and installed Windows 11 on it, my username was called 'eigenaar' at the beginning, which is 'owner' in my native language. So I changed that in the control panel >> user account settings to MSM. Now I have this:

enter image description here

Now when I opened my cmd the path looks like this:

enter image description here

My desired output was that my path in cmd should have looked like this: C:\Users\MSM>

I googled around but could not get it solved, hope you guys can help me.

Two more places to change:

  • Rename your folder in C:\Users to MSM
  • Use regedit to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList, identify your account by the value of ProfileImagePath and change it to C:\Users\MSM

Reboot after this change.

Ensure that you have another usable administrator account, in case something goes wrong and you can't login after this change.
