How to change the default author name?

New Here ,
Apr 05, 2019 Apr 05, 2019

When my laptop computer was first set out by the company's IT department they misspelled my name, so every comment I did in adobe would come out with my name spelled wrong, I had the IT guys fix my Laptop's Log in name but when I comment in Adobe, it still shows the same misspelled name, is there a way to make Adobe recognise the new name in the Windows 10 log in?? By the way I have the "Always use log in name for authors name" checkbox checked.

You'll need to elaborate a bit if you want any help.

Did you go to Edit > Preferences > Comments and uncheck the "Always use login name as author name" box?
