Windows 10: How do i change the default login from a domain user to a local user

HelloI have left a company and they have de-commissioned and donated to me the pc I used remotely for the company to now use as a home computer.There are several issues I need to resolve.The first is that when i go to logon it is defaulting to a domain that was previously set up at work. To logon to my newly-created local user I have to type the [name of the pc]\[new username] because it has defaulted to the old work domain and is expecting the domain user to be typed. This is a pain to keep typing the computer name in each time.How do Ia stop it defaulting to the old domain?b automatically

Changing default user at startup

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

I suggest you to follow these steps to make local account as your
Default login account.

1. Press windows + x

2. Select control panel

3. Select user account

4. Select Manage user account

5. Choose the local account you want it to be default

6. Login with local account and restart


See if this helps.

Thanks.

 

Local user disappeared frin login options after upgrade

Hi Zoee,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was unable to fix the issue. Here are my steps:

• I've uninstalled the last 3 updates (the ones from september):
  
  • however, they keep getting reinstalled:
    

• I've added two new users: one from the GUI, the other as you suggested in step 2:
  
  • They are listed under users;
    
• I've also booted in safe mode just to check.
  

I still have no way to login other than with the main account. No local users are available at login or when I go to start menu and click on my user.

Please advise

 

Windows 11 22H2 update: cannot Switch User at login and cannot see Domain user, only local users

Hi,

I have two user accounts on my laptop; DOMAIN\first.last and localhost\name and could access both fine on Windows 11. After updating to 22H2 I can only see the locahost user and no longer have the Switch User function at the login page like I normally do. The local user doesn't have admin privileges and the domain admin doesn't allow concurrent logins, which means I can't 'switch user' from a current login but instead I have to log out of the localhost user in order to log into the Domain user. I also can't run any of the suggested RegEdit fixes because I don't have admin privileges.

Not sure how to proceed. I don't want to call IT Support 'cause I wasn't supposed to load Windows 11 on the work laptop LOL

Help please!
