Windows 10: Windows 10 is always showing the wrong account on the login screen

I've had this Windows 10 PC for over 5 years. Windows is fully up-to-date. I login to it, with my Microsoft account, just about every day for work and play. My girlfriend also has an account on this PC. I think she's probably logged onto it a total of two times in those 5 years.


Now, suddenly, whenever the login screen is shown - whether it's after the PC is woken from sleep, just when I'm unlocking it, or after a full reboot, it ALWAYS defaults to her login and every time I have to click my name in the bottom-left corner before I can login.


Why has this started happening out of nowhere, and how do I stop it? As I say, she basically never uses this computer so I could just remove her account but I shouldn't have to! I've long since lost count of the number of hours I've wasted trying to fix ridiculous problems with Windows that just crop up out of nowhere.

login screens

goto CONTROL PANEL/ USER ACCOUNTS then you have to remove all the other accounts except for the one you logon with....then restart...it should bypass the login tho it will still show the screen for it...it will continue to load windows...good luck*Rockout :rockout:



edit:: it asks for a login when there are more then one accounts..or if you set a pw to your login name...

 

Login Screen showing wrong user account for display names (Domain)

These are domain accounts so the above solution wont work.
The problem I'm having is that the wrong username and display name is showing on the login screen.
The below image shows two different accounts which are not related to each other in anyway.
The display name shows peoplesafeusers but the username should be peoplesafeusers not jamess

 

Login Screen showing wrong user account for display names (Domain)

Hi,

When I log onto a windows 10 computer, log out, remote onto the computer with a different account and then log out, the login screen wont update the display name but it will update the user name.

I noticed this started with 1703 and have the same issue with 1709.

Any idea on how to get the Display name to update or to completely hide the remote users details and just show the original users login details?

This is an example of the login screen after doing the above process. Also seems to happen to some users that share a computer.
