Windows 10: Username changed on login to Windows 10

When you first boot your system. You see your picture with your username below and are prompted for a pin. Somehow my user name has been changed to Customer Service. Everything is working fine but instead of my usual username I get "Customer Service". I have also been told that when I send email it is coming from User "Customer Service" instead of my email username. How do I fix this?

How to change list of clickable usernames on login screen?

Hi,

customer has Ad domain with a lot of Windows 10 pro workstations. Users are frequently changing at same workstation and it is kinda annoying that Windows 10 login screen displays only 2 usernames on bottom left corner:

- <Last loged in user>

- Other user

Is it possible somehow to edit and set the list of usernames displayed there, to be, for example, list of 4 specific users?

Hi Vasu,

Thank you for responding.

I suggest you to convert the existing account to Microsoft account with administrator privileges and check if it helps.

Step 1: To convert Local account to Microsoft account, follow these steps:

• Make sure you are device is connected to internet.
• On the newly converted Local account (with no issues), click Start and then Settings.
• Click Accounts and click on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.
• Follow onscreen instructions.

Step 2: I suggest you to enable built-in admin account to change the current user account's type.

Steps to 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 3: Log-in with the Built-in admin account to change the account type and try the below.

• From Built-in account, press Windows + R keys from the Keyboard.
  
• Type netplwiz and click on Ok.
  
• Click on the Users tab.
• Under Users of this computer: select the account you want to change.
  
• Click on Properties button.
• Under Group Membership tab and select Administrator as user account type.
  
• Click on Apply and Ok.

Hope it helps. Let us know if you are facing issues changing the user account type, we will help you further.

Change the username in Windows 10 login screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern, as you are looking for an option to change the name on the welcome screen for the PC that is used by your husband.



In that scenario, ask your husband to create a Microsoft account with his details and then ask him to login to the PC and perform these steps.

1. Press Windows + I key from the keyboard, to launch
   Windows Settings.
   
2. Select Accounts and click on
   Your info from the left pane.
   
3. Click on Sign in with a local account instead and follow the onscreen steps.
   
4. Once the user account converted to a
   local account perform step 1 & 2.
   
5. Click on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead and use the Microsoft account created by your husband.

As an Additional reference: Create a local user or administrator
account in Windows 10

We await your response.
