  2. Tryx3 Win User

    MS Info Username

    I do not know where you are looking but in several places Windows displays usernames as ComputerName\UserName

    Your ComputerName is BobcatGames so, if your UserName is Gaming PC, your UserName might well be displayed in some places as
    BobcatGames\Gaming PC.

    You can check your UserName in any Command prompt or Windows PowerShell window by entering the command net user.

    This will show a list of all user accounts [both the one you created & the ones that the system created during installation].

  4. Display information/ MS account username not showing

    How to change the Username when signed in with a MS account

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We are glad to provide the assistance to help you resolve the issue.

    As per the information that you have provided, I would like to inform that it is not possible to change the Username that displays in your Sign-in screen in your PC. Even if you open Microsoft account site, click on the Edit Name link it will not change
    how the name is displayed in your PC.

    We apologize for the inconvenience caused and would suggest that you post your suggestions and concerns in our Feedback app so that our developers can work towards tweaking the same

    Hope this helps
