Creating a hidden user

Hi everyone,

I'm running a PC w/ Windows 10 Pro (v.2004) and is not on a domain.

I want to make my administrator account hidden from the user account screen. Instead, I want an option that says ("Other User") where I can type in the account's Username if I ever need to log in. That way, the standard users can log into this computer without having to see my Admin account's name.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you in advance for any help!

    There is no other way I know to do this than the methods shown in the tutorials.

    I hope this helps. Based on the results you report back I may have other suggestions if necessary. If you will wait to choose whether the problem is resolved, then I will continue to help until the problem is fixed.
