When I try to create a new user the Settings app, at the end of the process I get an error that says:
We're sorry, but something went wrong. This user wasn't added to this PC. Code: 0x8007089a
I created a user a few days ago without any problem. I've also installed all available updates for W8 but still have the problem.
I've already googled this issue without any real way of solving it. Any ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated!

Do you still experience the issue after rebooting? – David – 2013-06-19T01:28:19.217
@David yes, I've rebooted several times – Albert – 2013-06-19T01:30:33.933
2I cannot find anything on that error code, nor have I experienced this issue before. Have you using any weird characters in the user name? – David – 2013-06-19T01:33:40.230
@David: got it!!!! It was a problem for adding a period in the name!!!! I can't believe that Windows can't detect that and give a warning about it instead some random error message... anyways thank you for suggesting that! – Albert – 2013-06-19T01:39:38.227
