Add user to windows

WTF!? Why do I have to give option for password recovery when creating a local user account!!!

On windows 10, Going through the normal user dialogs is painful, Microsoft tries so hard to only allow you to add Microsoft accounts to your machine that is maddening.

If you just want to add a nice, simple local user account you will have to directly call the old add user application, to do you have to call it from the run command, so:

1. Open the run command dialog: Windows key + R
2. Open the user dialog, by running the command: control userpasswords2

PowerShell equivalent to Tail -F

Use
Get-Content -Wait -Tail 10
