    Ok, let's review.
    • Your Microsoft account aliases do not have the len address listed.
    • Your Microsoft account name online is correct.
    • You have a local account on the PC with the len address shown under "Your info".

    I'm pretty sure you are signed in to an app with the len address, and is why you are seeing this.

    As a test, click on the "Stop signing in to all Microsoft apps automatically" link below to see if that may remove it.
