Hi folks! I want to change the user that shows up as default on the initial sign in screen when I start the VM. I even deleted the default user, and it's still showing up as the only option, until I click "Other User" and manually input the credentials. Here are the steps I've followed so far: I created a Windows 11 VM using the assistant. A local admin user was created: local_admin_account I added a school or work account. [email protected] Rebooted the VM. local_admin_account is still the only user that shows up in the sign in screen. Click on "Other user", enter [email protected]'s credentials. It logs in without any issue. Go to Settings > Accounts > Other accounts, delete local_admin_account Reboot the VM. local_admin_account is still the only user that shows up in the sign in screen. I'm unable to log in to local_admin_account. Click on "Other user", enter [email protected]'s credentials. It logs in without any issue. Go to Settings > Accounts > Other accounts. local_admin_account is no longer there. From here, I can repeat steps 8-10 indefinitely. I don't want to recover local_admin_account, I simply want to make [email protected] the default user that shows up in the sign in screen when I start the VM. How can I do this?
I found a resolution. You have to change the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Change the DefaultUserName to whatever you want, as well as the add a DefaultPassword string value if applicable
