Subject says it all. Enable GPO 'dont display last signed-in...' But the account name, which is a local account, still displays.

Hi,
To understand the issue more clearly, would you please confirm the following questions:
The computer applied the policy , and last signed-in didn't display if the last sign -in user is the domain users, right?
If possible, would you please share a screenshot of that?(Please hide the private information)
Also, please run the CMD as administrator and run the command :gpresult /h report.html check if the gpo was applied successfully.
Best Regards,
I have done a fresh install of WIndows 10. As part of the install process i created a local user account and do not use the other account types. So now that local user account is the admin. I then run GPEDIT.MSC and enable:
Local Computer \ Computer Config \ WIndows Settings \ Security Settings \ local policies \ security options \ interactive login: dont display last signed-in
I restart.
After restarting I get the logon screen. And the account name appears. It should not appear? And instead
it should prompt for an account name?
What I havent looked at yet are all the wacky display type options. Maybe this GPO setting will only
work with some of them.
Thank you.
Hi,
When logon locally to the computer , the account name should not appear.
After applied the policy, on the logon screen, it shows:
But when remotely logon , it still shows the username:
Thank you for your response. I have since reapplied the GPO for the display and using the latest 20h2 install with applied updates. It is now working ok.
