    Change the username in Windows 10 login screen


    I have one microsoft account, only me on two computers. My husband has his computer with my account on it. How can I change his welcome page as it says my name, not his.



    ***Original Title: MSN welcome greeting name***

    How to change list of clickable usernames on login screen?

    Hi,

    customer has Ad domain with a lot of Windows 10 pro workstations. Users are frequently changing at same workstation and it is kinda annoying that Windows 10 login screen displays only 2 usernames on bottom left corner:

    - <Last loged in user>

    - Other user

    Is it possible somehow to edit and set the list of usernames displayed there, to be, for example, list of 4 specific users?

    Change Login screen.


    Hello:

    I've been trying to change the login and lock screens of my windows 10 install.
    i managed to change the login screen background using a tool found in these forums but now my name in the login screen is too big and it overlaps badly with my background
    My screen has my username and email like this:

    Username
    email
    pw box

    What i'm looking for is a way to both change the position of these elements, so i can move them up or down and the size/color of the font, without altering the rest of my OS' fonts.
    Thanks for any advice.

    "username placeholder" displayed on login screen

    Hi,

    Lock screen usernames will depend on the user settings that were saved on your computer. To isolate your concern with the lock screen issue, we’d like to know the following:

    • The version of your Windows. To know which version of Windows you are using, press
      Windows + R to open run window, type
      winver and press Enter.
    • Number of local accounts registered on your computer.
    • If your lock screen credentials is also a Microsoft Account.
    • If there are any error messages that you encounter.
    • If you can provide a photo of your lock screen.
    • Troubleshooting steps you’ve done so far.
    • Changes you've made prior to your concern other than updating Windows 10.

    We’re looking forward to your response.
