Output

**Using Group Policy Management Editor (GPEDIT.MSC)** 1. Open Group Policy Management Editor (GPEDIT.MSC) on the target Windows system. 2. Navigate to **Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options**. 3. Double-click on **Interactive logon: Do not display last user name** and set it to **Enabled**. **Using Registry Editor (REGEDIT)** 1. Open Registry Editor (REGEDIT) on the target Windows system. 2. Navigate to the following registry key:

3. Create a new DWORD value named **DontDisplayLastUserName** if it does not exist. 4. Set the value data to **1** (Enabled). **Additional Considerations:** * This setting only hides the last logged-in username for the primary user. Other users can still see the list of administrative accounts. * This setting does not prevent users from logging in using administrative accounts. * You may also want to configure the following settings to further restrict access: * **Interactive logon: Do not display domain name on logon screen** * **Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on** * **Interactive logon: Message title for users attempting to log on**
