Windows 10: Usernames or logon IDs shown before signing in to Windows 10

I has enabled in group policy to hide the usernames or logon IDs before signing in to Windows 10 but even after a GPUPDATE /FORCE and a reboot, the usernames are still listed on the actual logon screen UI before signing in to Windows 10. The policy does not seem to take effect. I set the policy back to Not Configured until we see why this will not take effect. I am on a Standalone machine.

Do not want to use hotmail address and password to logon to my PC. How to revert back to what it was before - a separate logon to hotmail and my PC

Had a session with a MS tech support this morning. Now my PC:

• 
  Must logon using my Hotmail address and password.
  I am the Administrator for my PC and I cannot change my PC logon id and password back to what it was before because name and password change are no longer available. However, I can do so for another user account on my computer
  
• 
  My PC logon id is now my Hotmail address and password, whereas before, I have a separate logon id and password to my PC
  
• 
  This logon change is a big security issue because anyone who can hack into MS hotmails can logon to my PC as administrator
  
  
  
  I would appreciate help re do not want to sign in with a MS Hotmail account to my personal computer
  

 

Email showing on sign in page of Windows 10

My wife & I just bought new laptops (same model, both using Win 10), and I set them up exactly the same as far as privacy settings; however, my wife's email address is still showing on her sign-in screen when she opens her laptop
(whereas mine just shows my username).

I checked the registry on both of our laptops, and her logon value is set to 0 for ShowEmail (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\S-1-5-21-...1001\AnyoneRead\Logon).

Funny thing though, in my registry there is no logon folder shown (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\S-1-5-21-...\AnyoneRead\
-> Colors, LanguageProfile, & ScaleFactors are the only items shown in BOTH folders 1000 & 1001).

Does anyone have an idea as to what might be happening here? Maybe I turned something on/off on one of the computers? (btw, the Privacy setting in Start, Settings, Accounts, Sign-in options is set to off on both computers.)

 

I am running on a standalone machine in which I enabled the Group Policy to Hide Entry Points for Fast user Switching, but the usernames still appears on the login screen even forcing the Group Policy to update or after rebooting.

Its similar to the below link, but my issue is, that I cannot disable this feature even if setting it in Group Policy setting.
Make Windows 10/8 Show All User Accounts on Login Screen | Password Recovery

I recently created an Admin account along with my Standard User Account, so all I need is to not show the Admin account's username on the Login Screen.

However, I still want my username to show above the Password entry box though but I don't want the Admin account username to show on the list below.

Basically, I need to perform the opposite settings as opposed to the above mentioned article.

 

Could be in Settings/Accounts/Sign-in options?
