    Is there a way where I can change the settings so that instead of showing the most recent account signed in first, it will show a specific account always? Thank you.

    Windows users at login

    I cannot see all of my user accounts on the login screen on a new Windows 10 laptop. I have an account for my son and it does not appear as a user on the login screen. It is listed if I display the users with the CMD prompt. The only account I see is my
    account which is an admin. His account is a user. All the suggestions I've seen are not available on home edition.

  4. Re-arrange User login accounts on lockscreen

    Hi Jim,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with log-in user account, we will help you to resolve this issue.

    Kindly provide us with the following information to assist you better:

    • How many user accounts are there on your computer?
    • Is your computer connect to Domain?
    • Were you able to see your another user account on start-up screen?

    If you are able to see another user account on start-up screen, I suggest you to login through that account and enable the built-in admin account.

    After enabling the built-in admin account you can login through that account and delete the default account.

    Step 1: Steps to enable built-in admin account

    Try to login to your temporary user account, enable built in administrator.

      • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
      • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open Command Prompt.
      • Type the following command and hit Enter:

    net user administrator /active: yes (Check for the spaces)

    4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.

    Step 2: Steps to delete the account:


    • Login with the built-in administrator account.

    • Press “Windows key + X" from the keyboard and click on
      Search icon.

    • Type Control Panel in the search box, click on “User accounts” and on
      "Manage another account"

    • Click the on the default account you want to delete and Delete.

    Hope it helps. Kindly get back with the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
