    Hi crabfatblue

    I am Juliet and It's my pleasure to help you today.

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you :)

    To change the account name using the User Accounts settings on Windows 10, use these steps:

    1. Open Control Panel.
    2. Under the "User Accounts" section, click the Change account type option.
    3. Select the local account to change its name.
    4. Click the Change the account name option.
    5. Confirm the new account name for the Sign-in screen.
    6. Click the Change Name button.
    7. After you complete the steps, sign out of the current session, and the Sign-in screen should now display the new name.

    I hope it helps! Let me know the results.

    Are you referring to the Windows sign-in name?
