Split from this thread.Hey! I have a problem with signing in to my account! When I click on a "Post a reply" in my mail the site opens in Chrome asks me to create a display name. Because I have one currently when I type the one I'm using right now it says the display name is taken. And I'm not being able to sign in to my account! And I've created a thread to get a help but it deleted by a moderator!! **** is this?! I'm experiencing an issue that prevents me to use your site to get help and when I create a thread about it it gets deleted? ****?!

Changing the username displayed on the sign-in screen depends on what account you're using to sign in. If you're using a Microsoft account, you may need to change your Microsoft account name online. If you're using a local account, you can change your account
name from the Control Panel. To do so, follow the these steps:

• Click the Windows logo, and click on the gear icon to open
  Settings.
• Go to Accounts.
• Select Your account.
• Click the Manage my Microsoft account link.
• In your Microsoft account main page, click Edit name below your account picture.
• Enter your preferred name, and click Save.
• Restart your computer.

Note: Please keep in mind that it may take some time for the changes to take effect. Also, the name you entered on your Microsoft account will also be displayed on other Microsoft products and services that you're using.

• For local account:

• In the search file on your taskbar, type Control Panel, and press the
  Enter key.
• Under User Account, click the Change account type link.
