    Windows 10 - The "other user" option on login screen is missing


    Hello,


    Like the topic stands, my Windows 10 login screen doesn't show the option to type in username and password instead of just choosing the username I want to log on to. I was able to enable the other user login but by doing so I can only log in through the other user prompt without a list of existing accounts. I did it by enabling "Interactive logon: Don't display last signed-in" in the group policy. However it is not exactly what I am trying to achieve.


    I have seen Windows 10 devices where the user was able to login through selecting a user from a list and providing a password. On this devices in the list of known users there was the "other user" option which is missing on my PC. This devices probably where part of a domain which possibly enables the "other user" option but I am interested in achieving the same thing without a domain. Is this possible?


    I am running Windows 10 2004 Education Edition.

    I have an activated administrator account that I can us and log on into.

    No problems logging in whatsoever, neither with user list nor with the other user prompt.


    To put it my issue in simple words to summarise, I want a login screen where I have the usual list of available users along with the other user option.


    I hope this description is clear enough.


    Thank you in advance to anyone who might have a solution

    :)

    This bug is still not solved.

    I changed a computer from a domein to a workgroup and the 'other user' on the login screen is missing

    and as there are only two users option left I can not use login with an other account then those shown on the login screen

  3. Missing "other user" on login screen

    I think it was when I updated the computer to the 1709 version of Windows 10 but I cannlt send a screen shot of the login screen but it only shows the local account logins. My home ocmputer also on pro does not show the "other user" option either.

    Missing "other user" on login screen

    Hi,



    This could be due to a recent update or change done on the device which results on other user accounts not appearing on your machine. To isolate the ongoing issue with user accounts, please provide the following information:



    • When did you notice that the other user accounts stopped showing on the device?
    • Have you made any recent changes on the device prior to the issue?
    • Are you using a local account or a Microsoft account to login?
    • What can you see on the login screen when the PC boots ups? Can you send us a screenshot?


    Regards.
