Windows 10: I have another user in lock screen with same name as mine

Hi. I have this problem where I see another user with the same full name as mine but that user doesn't actually exist in my user list since I am the only one that uses the pc. I tried netplwiz but did not work. Also, there is nothing I can do with the properties of my user.

Switch user from lock screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to switch user from lock screen. I’ll certainly help you with the steps.



Once you lock the computer, to switch from one user account to another from the lock screen, select the user name from the list of available users at the bottom left of the sign-in screen, enter the credentials to sign-in.



Below is a screenshot of lock screen for reference:









However, if you wish to switch user without locking the computer, refer the steps mentioned in the article

Let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to help you.

Windows 10 Lock screen - "Other user" option missing User name and Password fields

This is seen on domain joined Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB

Under some circumstances clicking the "Other user" option at the lock screen with a user logged in will not display the User name and Password fields. Using tab and enter to select the current user then "Other user" will make them display. Has anybody else
seen this issue?

Full repo instructions. There may be a quicker way to get into this state, but this is consistent:

• Have User1 logged in
• Lock the screen
• Enter an empty password 6 times for User1
• Windows will display "Welcome..." message for a few seconds, then "The password is incorrect. Try again."
• Clicking ok will go to the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to unlock" screen
• Click "Other user"
• Username and Password fields are missing

To get out of this state:

• Press Tab untill User1 is highlighted
• Press Enter
• Press Tab until "Other user" is highlighted
• Press Enter
• User name and Password fields are now displayed

To assist you better, please provide us more information.

  How many user account do you have on your system?

Meanwhile, let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps. I suggest you to remove the username from Credential Manager and check.

  Type credential Manager on the Windows search bar and select Credential Manager.
