I'm trying to prevent Windows 10 Pro (1903) from displaying usernames on the initial login screen on system boot-up. I've tried everything listed in the accepted answer here on Microsoft TechNet, but that only seems to prevent the last login user from being displayed after you log out. It does not appear to work at all for hiding username(s) on system boot-up.

I've looked all over and played with any setting that looks even remotely right; no luck. How can I prevent Windows 10 from ever displaying the username (there's only one) on the login screen, including when the machine is first booted?

  • Personally, I do that by configuring the following within the Local Group Policy Editor: navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options and Disable the policy for Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL

  • Did that. When I CTRL+ALT+DEL, it takes me to the username already used, directly to the password entry... but I don't want the username there at all. I want it to have to be typed.

  • And you also enabled Interactive logon: Don't display last signed-in?

    Understood but as I said before, mine works perfectly (and has been for over four years) based upon just those two Group Policy settings: enabled Interactive logon: Don't display last signed-in as well as disabled Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
