Windows 11 login screen is showing "Domain\Network Username" and "Network Password" fields

Question

New Windows 11 installation, the login screen is showing two new fields, "Domain\Network Username" and "Network Password". The computers we have upgraded from Window 10 do not have this extra fields on the login screen. I have not been able to find any reason as to why we have this and we would like all the computer to have the same login screen. Can anyone share any information about this?

Answer 1

I have found this problem is due to Microsoft turning on Credential Guard in Windows 11 by default. In Windows 10 Credential Guards was Off by default. When upgrading a Windows 10 to 11 with windows upgrade, the Credential Guard policy is left in the same state it was in Windows 10. When installing a new Windows 11 the Credential Guards policy is On. I created a Group Policy to fix the problem, the policy is to Disable Credential Guard.
