Windows 10: Cannot change local user e-mailadress

Hi,Changing the name of my user account is only changing it on one superficial place. In other place I still see my 'gamer'nickname and e-mailadress. If I go to settings it still shows these in the top left part of the window and I've found no place to change it. What is the top left account supposed to be? I really want it changed.Also when I changed the name to my user account, it remained the default 'user' in some areas of my software. This is very annoying. Where do I change all of this?Kind regards,

:)
