Just ran into the same issue. This solved it for me https://www.tenforums.com/user-accounts-family-safety/68694-win10-tries-sign-deleted-account.html
Deleted user account is still at Windows 10 login screen.
Hi,
In Windows 10, I deleted a user account. Then I checked at
- Windows Settings > Accounts > Other users
- Run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
- Run > netplwiz > User Accounts
- Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\Manage Accounts
- C:\Users
Deleted user account name or its folder is not shown anywhere.
Also. I enabled, Require users to click CLT-ALT-DEL.
However, after restart or when I turn on, I see deleted user account name on login screen by default.
With deleted user account name, I see, The user name or password is incorrect. Try again.
I click Ok. Then, I click another user account which is active.
Please let me know, how to resolve this issue?
With Regards

This is the login screen.
I enabled both options one by one.
1st I enabled, Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL, then gpupdate /force.
After restart, no change I noticed.
Then I enabled, Don't display last signed-in then gpupdate /force.
After restart, I see only deleted account i.e. Geek but don't see the active account i.e. Administrator.
Then I manually typed username, Administrator and password. I singed-in and disabled, Don't display last signed-in.
At the end, issue not resolved.
With Regards

Try these steps:
Open Security Policy Editor by running secpol.msc command.
Go to Local Policies > Security Options.
Double click on Interactive logon: Do not display last user name and set it to Enabled.
Close Security Policy Editor and run gpupdate /force or reboot the system.
Let us know if this helps!

Would you please check again the following place:
- In the Users, please check if the account still exists.
- Please show the screenshot in the Local Policies, check if "Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" is enabled.
Then open cmd, run gpupdate /force
Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
