Unable to change user account name

[TIGERSHARK27]

It's probably not what you're initially thinking. If I go to Settings, and then Accounts, it shows my username as Adam (the name I want, so that is good). I am administrator by the way. If I go to File Explorer, open up my SSD (C: Drive), and Users, it shows me as "Local user". I seem to end up having frustrating permission problems, with being denied access, even though I am the only user. I want to change the "Local user" name to Adam (even if that doesn't solve the permissions problem, that is what this post is technically questioning).

You can't do that without breaking your system. If the name is really that important to you (it shouldn't be), then make a new account with an initial name "Adam" and then it'll have the folders with that name

I'm not sure I understand.

If you click "THIS PC" then right-click "Documents" you can see the folder path. It should say "C:\users\Adam" so the Documents, Pictures, Downloads etc is off this folder path.

What are your permissions problems?

All I can suggest is reinstalling Windows since I don't know what went wrong, and frankly dealing with changing anything there could make things worse.
