Windows 10: Why Windows does not change user name after name change on domain joined PC?

Here is the scenario:A user had a name change in an active directory account. Machine is domain joined. They're able to sign into computer using their domain account, but sign in screen and user profile folder in c:\users do not reflect new name. Especially, user does not want an old last name to show up on windows sign in screen?Thoughts:I was under the impression windows will create user profile folder automatically when logging with new login ID which was renamed, but that did not happen.Would removing the machine from domain and rejoining fix the issue?

name changes??

If you desire a name change please do the following:

• Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
• Make sure you have a good reason.
• Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
• Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

I agree with most people. Mod assisted name changes only.
