Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @corinnev - The issue is a known bug around special characters in their username. More details on this are in our Windows Troubleshooting Guide here, but the easiest solution will be creating a new user without any characters.

Ok thank you. Her username is alize, not alizé I hope. I will ask her
