  1. Missing email address from login screen


    I updated my desktop from 15xx to 1909 and my email address disappeared from the login screen. Also updated my laptop from 1809 to 1903 and the email address is still there. Is there some major difference between 1903 and 1909? Would like to make it disappear from my laptop. Any ideas.

    :)

  2. email address on login screen

    Hi Mikey,

    By default, the sign in screen shows your name and email address (or username if you’re not using a Microsoft account) and whatever picture you’ve associated with your account. But Microsoft has its way on how can hide the email address on the login screen.
    Here are the steps:

    • Open the Start menu.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Select Sign-in options from the left side.
    • Under Privacy, go to Show account details (e.g. email address) on sign-in screen.
    • Toggle the switch to Off.

    Hide email at login screen

    I managed to hide the email address by following this method:

    • Press WIN + I keys to access the Settings app.
    • Click on Users
    • Navigate to the Sign-in options section where you’ll will find the option
      Show account details on sign-in screen.
    • Set the switch to Off. Your email address will no longer appear at the login screen.
    If that option is not available for your Windows build, you can also use the group policy to block the system from showing email address. Check

    for details.
