    Deleted user account name appears on login screen


    When starting my PC the user account name from a deleted user account appears as the default login account.

    This user account does not appear when looking at the manage user account screens as it was deleted by the account holder (the former owner of the PC).

    How do I stop this deleted user account name appearing at login?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  3. Login Screen showing wrong user account for display names (Domain)

    Hi,

    When I log onto a windows 10 computer, log out, remote onto the computer with a different account and then log out, the login screen wont update the display name but it will update the user name.

    I noticed this started with 1703 and have the same issue with 1709.

    Any idea on how to get the Display name to update or to completely hide the remote users details and just show the original users login details?

    This is an example of the login screen after doing the above process. Also seems to happen to some users that share a computer.

    Login Screen showing wrong user account for display names (Domain)

    These are domain accounts so the above solution wont work.
    The problem I'm having is that the wrong username and display name is showing on the login screen.
    The below image shows two different accounts which are not related to each other in anyway.
    The display name shows peoplesafeusers but the username should be peoplesafeusers not jamess
