Windows 10 comes set up with some special accounts called built-in accounts.

You can check the built-in account by launching the system management tool "Computer Management" and expanding "Local Users and Groups" to point to the user.

System accounts used by Windows OS such as SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE, etc. recorded in the user of the event log are not displayed.

And most built-in accounts are deactivated and can't be used until you activate them.

start-rightclick — Start button: Right-click menu> Computer Management

One of the built-in accounts, Administrator, is called the administrator account, and is the account used when changing the system of the Windows OS.

Since it is disabled by default, enable it using Computer Management when using it.

The sign-in screen when Administrator is displayed is as shown in the first image.

Hide Administrator

When Administrator is enabled, "Administrator" will be displayed at the bottom left of the sign-in screen.

I didn't want to display the Administrator on the sign-in screen (Welcome screen), but I found an effective method, so I will share it.

Registry operations are at your own risk

Before working with Registry Editor
Make a backup copy of your registry in case something goes wrong.

[procedure]

Start Registry Editor
Move to the next level
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Create subkey SpecialAccounts under Winlogon
Create a new subkey UserList under Special Accounts
Create a new DWORD (32-bit) in the right pane by pointing to UserList
Rename the new DWORD (32-bit) to Administrator
Set the value of Administrator's DWORD (32 bits) to 0
End of procedure

Step 5 snapshot

Create a new DWORD (32-bit) in the right pane by pointing to UserList

Snapshot after the procedure

If Administrator = 1, Administrator will be displayed on the sign-in screen.

A tool used when you do not want to display Administrator on the sign-in screen.
* Varies depending on the Windows 10 grade.

Local users and groups

[Accounts registered to local users and groups]

Administrator
DefaultAccount
Guest
HomeGroupUser $
WDAGUtilityAccount

WDAGUtilityAccount is the account created when setting up the Windows sandbox.

It is a bad thing that it is disabled except HomeGroupUser $, but it is recommended to disable it when it is not.

Read the related article for steps to set up your Windows sandbox.
