  1. Change default log in screen to local user account


    Change default log in screen to local user account s-A2P69OOjSN64f1LEmorgawukp0T9CcNNL105Hz73U.jpg

    Hello, I need help on changing the default log in screen using Windows 10 Pro.

    By default, Windows 10 will display on the log in screen the last user account that used the computer before shutdown. In my case, I want the log in screen to display the administrator account even if I last shut down the PC from the non-administrator account.

    Is there any way to do this? I want the log in screen to display the log in option for the administrator account again upon boot.

    Note: I do not want to bypass password input and do not want the donotdisplay last name option (the one that requires you to enter both username and password). I just want it to show the admin icon and PIN everytime i boot it and not other accounts who used it last.

    (Pic for sample)

    Thanks

    Delete local user account or change default account on start up

    Almost!
    I found the user, but Windows in their great wisdom won't let me delete it.
    Is there a way to stop it attempting to log in there as default?

    • Go to settings and click on Accounts.

    • Click on Your email and accounts and click on
      Sign-in with a local account instead.

    • Enter the password, click on Next
      and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into local account.
