With this method you can remove your login details on the Windows start screen
Privacy is one of the aspects we value most when working with the devices that we have at hand every day. And it is very common that in order to make use of them we have to have them associated to an email account or a profile on social networks.
Nothing of major importance in the case of a personal device because only we will be able to access it but the problem comes when it is a computer shared by more than one person or located in a public space.Thus, a case with which we can come across is the fact that if we have ever logged into Windows 10 with our personal Microsoft account, it remains registered for everyone who uses the computer.
A possibility that surely many users do not like, who look askance at the fact that another person may know our email address. However, it is something that has a solution, although we are going to have to navigate a bit in Windows to solve it
This is a method that thanks to the use of the Windows Registry Editor will allow you to delete stored mail to log in like this as the username if you have ever used it.
To do this we are going to access the System Registry Editor, something that we will do thanks to the Windows+R key combination or by accessing the search box.In both cases we are going to write the command regedit so that the system shows us the window that gives us access to the Windows Registry Editor. And be careful at this point, especially for touching something that we do not know and that can cause failures in our equipment. Once in the editor, the steps are very simple.
-
We look for the folder System, which we can find in the path
-
Once inside we must look for the file DontDisplayLastUserName and once located, open it with the left mouse button.
-
" A new window appears, the Value Editor, and in it a box with a number 0 stands out. We must change this value to 1."
-
"
We will then see a new file called DontDisplayLockedUserID, in which we must click again with the left mouse button and change the value, but now with the number 3."
We are done with the whole process. All we have to do is restart our computer and check how now no longer appears on the screen of access, neither our email nor our username. An easy and effective way to protect the basic privacy of our most common data.
