How to Hide Last Signed in Users in Windows 10
By Timothy Tibbettson 06/15/2023 |
When you sign out of Windows 10 and have multiple user accounts, you can click on any user name to log into that account. If an account is not password protected, anyone can log in. For security purposes, you can hide all the user accounts from being displayed, forcing a user to enter their account name and password.
We have two ways you can hide the last signed-in user; Local Security Policy or the Registry Editor. Local Security Policy is only available in Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise, but you can enable it in Windows 10 Home.
