How to set a default sing in user in a windows configuration designer package

Question

I used Windows Configuration Designer to create a provisioning package. After applying the package to a machine, it successfully joined Azure Ad, allowing Intune to manage it. However, my IT department director wants the machines to have a default sign-in user already set when they are provisioned. This user is a local account and the only one used on the devices. I'm wondering if it's possible to establish a sign-in user through Windows Configuration Designer.

After researching, I find the following link mentioned the registry key to change the default login account. You can test and see if it can work.
