    You may try adding a Local account.

    Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run menu.

    Type netplwiz and press Enter.

    Click Add.

    Select Sign in without a Microsoft account.

    Click Next.

    Choose a username and password for the new account.

    Click Next and then Finish.

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Based on your description, here are some possible solutions:

    Restart your computer: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve display issues because the system refreshes the user login screen information on startup.

    Check the account type: Verify that the second account is a standard user account, not a guest account. Guest accounts may not appear on the login screen.

    Verify user creation: Check whether the second account was successfully created under Control Panel > User Accounts.

    Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete: At the login screen, try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete and see if the "Switch User" option appears. From there you may be able to find and select a second account to log in to.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
