Windows 10: DefaultUserName in Regedit

I was wondering, what would happen if I modified the DefaultUserName string in the Registry Editor without changing AutoAdminLogon or DefaultPassword? Would it make the login screen display whatever username I entered into DefaultUserName?


I would try for myself to see what happens but I don't want to damage the computer, so if you know the answer please help me?

WOUtempadmin

• Run "regedit"
  
  Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
• Change DefaultUserName to your default user
• delete AutoAdminLogin
• Press F3 and search for any entry containing "woutemplogin" and delete it as long as the searchphrase can't be found any more

That's it.
