Hi all, Tom here.
Working as an onsite system engineer/local support engineer with W7 and W10 at the age of 58.
Also doing some IT work at our local football (soccer in the US ) club as a volunteer.
I stumbled on this forum looking for an answer why some settings like hide last logon name in the latest W10 build is not working. We have a large screen in our entrance showing were all the teams have to go.
Tried to hide the username during autologon, so I hope to find the answer here.
Hi Tom and welcome to ten Forums.
Make a new thread and put your question there. General Support seems like a good start. You'll get far more attention and answers there.
