When you upgrade your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 system to Windows 10, youâll undergo a phase called Out of Box Experience, or simply OOBE. This phase is intended to allow users to customize their Windows 10 experience, which includes defining personal settings, creating user accounts, and more. Some users reported having issues when creating their user account during the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) on Windows 10 upgrade. Some also reported issues about non-responsive behavior (Welcome Back) page.

 If the steps above donât work, you might want to try Startup repair.
In order to do this step, you need to have official Windows 10 ISO files.
After doing the steps above, thereâs a chance you get an error message that says âinstallation cannot be completed in safe modeâ. When you see this, just press Shift+F10. This will execute and open the command prompt of your computer.
 From the command prompt, you can try and create a new user account.
 For example, net user Username Password /add
 The username here should be replaced with the account name you want to add, and the Password here should be replaced with the password you want to use for the account.
 After replacing the username and password on the text, press the Enter button on your keyboard. Youâll know if the command is successful once you see the message, âThe command completed successfully.â
You can now close the command prompt. Restart your computer and try to log in using the account you just created.
If all the above methods still donât work, it might be best to try automated software to help you fix this problem.
