    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 username - result: two login accounts, delete 1 unable to login


    Microsoft does indeed pick the first 5 characters of your email address when setting up a new Microsoft Account login. If you create a local account first you can specify the username you want and then change it to a Microsoft account later. In that way you will keep your original [AccountName] for the user folder.

    Changing the [AccountName] is very difficult, I am not sure what you did in step 3 of your post but that is most certainly where things started to go wrong.

    I hope I have understood your question properly.
