Hello, Please ensure that your system is up to date with the latest updates. Meanwhile, you could try the following steps: Open the Local Group Policy Editor. To do this, press Win + R, type gpedit.msc into the Run box, and hit Enter. In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon Once you’re there, look for “Always use classic logon” or “Do not display last user name” policy on the right side. Double-click on it, choose “Enabled” and then click OK. Close the Local Group Policy Editor and restart your computer. Best Regards, Hania Lian
