  1. Missing "Change user name" option


    I am using Windows 10 Home , and I am using the administrator account in my pc. the problem is that when ever i sign in into the windows it is showing my email instead of my name. I tried to change the name in control panel but the option is missing. So I tried another way through netplwiz but the success is only for once and when i log in again it keeps showing the mail id not my name. I am tired of trying things to over throw the problem... please help me with this

    :)
