Unable to find additional user account after software update.

Hoping someone can help.


I've just updated the software Sequoia 15.1.1. Before this upgrade, I was running two user accounts on my Mac Air - myself (personal) and a second user as a business.


Now after the upgrade, I'm unable to find the second business user account anywhere. The home screen is only showing up with the one user (me) and not the second user account that was previously on the home screen too.

Any ideas on how to retrieve that, please?




MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1

Under the > do you see another user(?)



From the Terminal.app you can list the known user on your machine copy and paste:

ls -la /Users
