Restart Your Computer
It’s the easiest method.
Try restarting your PC, maybe even a couple of times, and see if that cures the problem.
Obviously you don’t want to do this regularly, but if it works, then you’ll be off and running within a few minutes.

Create a new user profile
You’ll see a couple of options that that allow you to add users to either your Family or just General use.
Set one of these up and see if that solves the problem.
Don’t delete your original ID though, as you’ll want that once the bug has been patched.
