  1. Need to add the Other User option at login screen


    I am using two LOCAL Windows 10 accounts on a STANDALONE laptop. One for Admin and one for Limited account.

    I know the image below are for a domain joined machine, but how can I achieve to show my Limited username account and one showing as Other User on the below left-hand corner of the sign in screen?

    I do have the Fast User Switching enabled or Not Configured in Group Policy.

    Ways to bypass the login theme and signin do not work

    Tried setting netplwiz in option 1 step 4 which shows no check in users must enter ..... no bypass of login

    Tried step 4 in option 5 below to disable require sign-on on wakeup via policy via registry but still no change on wakeup still getting the screen picture that requires hitting Esc to move to the sign in window which shows a silhouette image, my user name and a sign in button in order to access my desktop screen. Guess I will have to live with the extra steps.

    Again thanks for your interest and suggestions.

    Need to add the Other User option at login screen

    Windows 10 - The "other user" option on login screen is missing

    Hello,

    Like the topic stands, my Windows 10 login screen doesn't show the option to type in username and password instead of just choosing the username I want to log on to. I was able to enable the other user login but by doing so I can only log in through the
    other user prompt without a list of existing accounts. I did it by enabling "Interactive logon: Don't display last signed-in" in the group policy. However it is not exactly what I am trying to achieve.

    I have seen Windows 10 devices where the user was able to login through selecting a user from a list and providing a password. On this devices in the list of known users there was the "other user" option which is missing on my PC. This devices probably where
    part of a domain which possibly enables the "other user" option but I am interested in achieving the same thing without a domain. Is this possible?

    I am running Windows 10 2004 Education Edition.

    I have an activated administrator account that I can us and log on into.

    No problems logging in whatsoever, neither with user list nor with the other user prompt.

    To put it my issue in simple words to summarise, I want a login screen where I have the usual list of available users along with the other user option.

    I hope this description is clear enough.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who might have a solution
