Windows 10: Do Not Display Last Signed-in User Name on Windows 10 Sign-in

You're most welcome. Sorry it took a reset.

 

Is it possible to display the Computer Name?

(I am on Windows 10 Home, and like to use a PIN to sign in)

 

Hello FrozenCursor,

I'm afraid that to be able to sign in with a PIN you will need to enable displaying user names on the sign-in screen. *Sad

 

How about creating a Local Account (not a Microsoft account) for a user that happens to have the same name as the Computer Name? If necessary, make that user an Administrator.

 

You won't be able to name a user account with the same name as the computer, but you could have it the same with an added number to at least be close.

 

Thanks for the comments!

The excellent tutorials sometimes lead me (and perhaps others too) to ideas beyond my computer capabilities *Smile Much appreciated!

 

You're welcome. *Smile

 

thank u bro OPTION ONE :- working %100 windows 10

 

I'm glad it could help hogrmahro. *Smile

 

I noticed that when doing this, the sign-in screen's background no longer respects the setting of the previous user. Instead, it uses whatever is set by the hidden administrator account. Luckily, TenForums also provides steps for how to login to this account: Administrator account - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Edit: Nope, this only worked temporarily. It either switched back to a default Spotlight photo after making the administrator account inactive again, or simply changed it back to a Spotlight photo for some other reason.

Does anyone know how to properly change the sign-in screen background color/picture (not the lock screen) when not displaying the user name?

 

Hello mmortal03, *Smile

The sign-in screen will use the same background as your lock screen if turned on using OPTION ONE below.

No, I tried that, but that only works if Do Not Display User Name is disabled. *Sad

 

It's working fine on my system with Do Not Display User Name is disabled.

What build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

 

Anniversary Edition.

 

It should be working for you then. You might try the method in the tutorial below to see if it may work for you instead.
