Windows 10: How to change windows defaulting to "Other User" on log in?

Hey guys,

When I first turn on my pc I am met with the log in screen that says "Other User". When I first installed windows it would show my user account, and I would just have to type in my pin code then I'm in. I don't know how this was changed because I don't believe I changed any settings regarding this, but I just wanted to get it back how it used to be. Nothing is broken it's just slightly inconvenient.

I attached a picture to show what I'm talking about. I already googled the issue, but nothing that I could find helped me with this issue.

Thanks,

Matt

To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:

• Run Registry Editor.

  .
• Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

Domain users immediately logged out

We got it figured out.

Below is the guide my boss made to fix the issue:

After certain Windows updates, standard users (users who are not members of Elevated Group) cannot log into machines that they have not previously logged into. They input their credentials properly but are immediately signed out.

The cause for this issue is that the Default User profile is corrupted by the update, and the new user cannot create a profile, because the system cannot use the Default profile template to properly create a proper registry key. One will be created, but
it is corrupted.

To fix this issue follow these instructions:

• Log into the affected machine as either local or domain admin
• Go to C:\Users
• If you cannot see the Default user folder click “View” and check the box next to “Hidden files”. Be sure to uncheck this box when you are finished with all other steps.
• Rename the Default folder to “Default.bak”
• Go to C:\Windows.old\Users (If there’s no Windows.old folder use the backup Default folder in this share to complete the following steps ****see below****)
• Copy the Default user folder.
• Go back to C:\Users and paste the Default folder there.
• If a folder has been created for the affected user, delete it.
• Deselect the check box next to “hidden files”.
• Right click over the Windows icon and select Run.
• In the “Open” window type “regedit.exe” to open the registry editor.
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
• Find the registry entry of the affected user (should have a .bak extension) and delete it.
• After a restart of the machine the user should be able to log in successfully
