thanks! the first link which configure the group policy is work for me.
But it's tricky...actually I read the article before (exactly same link :)) . But i tried the setting on secpol.msc instead of gpedit.msc.
what I set on secpol.msc (local security policy) is NOT work.
and if I do the same setting on gpedit.msc (group policy editer) is work!
tricky, right ?

Hi,

To do this, you can configure the local group policy or registry, the local group policy would be suggested :
Open the local group policy by enter: Edit group policy

Check that in the Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options ,try to configure the following policies:

Interactive logon: Don’t display last signed-in: Disabled
Interactive logon: Don’t display username at sign-in: enabled.

Update the group policy

Hi,
As the screenshot showing , set the following settings:
don't display last sign-in DISABLED
don't display username ENABLED

85172-4073.jpg
After apply the policy ,you will see the last sing-in user information.
,For example, there are 2 local users :local47,local47
User local 47 sign in and sign out, then only local 47 will display in the logon screen.
User local 48 sign in and sign out, then only local 48 will display in the logon screen.

But if there are several users that sign onto the machine and they didn't sign out , both the 2 users will display on the logon screen .
So if there are other users except the last sign-in user display on the logon screen make sure those users are signed out.
