Shared multi-user device Guest Only

I set the "Guest account" option with only Guests.

When logging in windows allows me access even with domain users via "Other User" function. Below you can find my configuration: Image

As reported in the Microsoft documentation (Windows 10/11 shared device settings - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn) :

Guest account: Choose to create a Guest option on the sign-in screen. Guest accounts don't require any user credentials or authentication. This setting creates a new local account each time it's used. Your options:

Guest: Only allows a local guest account to sign in to the device.

Domain: Only allows an Azure Active Directory (AD) domain account to sign in to the device.

Guest and domain: Allows a local guest account, or an Azure Active Directory (AD) domain account to sign in to the device.

I tried logging in as other users with my domain account and it worked. Image

How can I disable it leaving only guests allowed?

    @Kyuzo88, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my test, the "Other user" option will not hide when we configure shared multi-user profile. The same result as yours. I think this is by design.

    Then I go to do some researching and test on some registry key like below

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

    "dontdisplaylastusername"=dword:00000001

    But it is not working. You can contact windows support to see if there's any method can disable the "Other user" option.

    Thanks for your understanding.
