Windows 10: Set default Domain User Name in log screen windows 10

Hi, for a computer in domain where 3 different users are logging in, I have a need that at every reboot or lock/unlock of the device one of the 3 users always shows up as default even if the latter is not the last user actually logged in. This is because, this user is blind and I therefore need him to directly enter the psw or PIN related to his active directory account, to minimize for him the iteration with the login screen and not having to reenter his username each time as well. Whereas for the other two users, they will always log in by clicking on "other user" and entering their own na

User Name or Password Incorrect When Trying to Log In as Domain User

I've tried searching repeatedly for an answer to this problem but I seem to be getting nowhere.

My client purchased a desktop PC with Windows 10 Home edition installed. I upgraded the machine to Windows 10 Pro. I added a Microsoft account to the machine.

I logged in using this account and added the machine to the domain (Windows Server 8). When prompted to enter a domain user account, I used my Administrator account. The machine was added fine. I can see it in the list of devices on the server.

Now when I try to log in to the machine as a domain user or the domain administrator, I get an error. Here are my steps at the login screen:

1. Click on Other user (Note that "Sign in to: <DOMAIN>" is displayed)

2. Enter user name (I've also tried DOMAIN\User and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

3. Enter password.

4. Click on arrow.

5. Message displayed is "The user name or password is incorrect. Try again."

I've tried multiple domain accounts and verified their passwords. It seems that only the local/Microsoft account will let me into the PC.

 

Domain users immediately logged out

We got it figured out.

Below is the guide my boss made to fix the issue:

After certain Windows updates, standard users (users who are not members of Elevated Group) cannot log into machines that they have not previously logged into. They input their credentials properly but are immediately signed out.

The cause for this issue is that the Default User profile is corrupted by the update, and the new user cannot create a profile, because the system cannot use the Default profile template to properly create a proper registry key. One will be created, but
it is corrupted.

To fix this issue follow these instructions:

• Log into the affected machine as either local or domain admin
• Go to C:\Users
• If you cannot see the Default user folder click “View” and check the box next to “Hidden files”. Be sure to uncheck this box when you are finished with all other steps.
• Rename the Default folder to “Default.bak”
• Go to C:\Windows.old\Users (If there’s no Windows.old folder use the backup Default folder in this share to complete the following steps ****see below****)
• Copy the Default user folder.
• Go back to C:\Users and paste the Default folder there.
• If a folder has been created for the affected user, delete it.
• Deselect the check box next to “hidden files”.
• Right click over the Windows icon and select Run.
• In the “Open” window type “regedit.exe” to open the registry editor.
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
• Find the registry entry of the affected user (should have a .bak extension) and delete it.
• After a restart of the machine the user should be able to log in successfully
