Windows 8 login?
When I boot up in windows 8 and the login windows shows.
It shows other user Welcome the user name or password was incorrect try again I select ok enter my user name and password and it tells me it is incorrect again.
So I select ok and arrow on the left side of the other user block shows, so I click it and it moves the screen over and I have to block showing one with my username in it and the other with other user in it.
If I type my password into the one with my username it will login me in.
How do I get my username block to show up on the first time I boot up?

I have only one user and it is for both admin and local
Was autologon setup at some point in time? Usually this behavior is seen when people have no Microsoft account but a local account and the default logon method is still MS account. Find out how to adjust that with gpedit.msc
I could help you later, on the move right now.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Also run (Win+R) secpol.msc and under the Security Settings tree, expand Security Options and look at the setting Interactive Login: Do not display last user name. What is the setting? My setting is "Disabled" and my username shows up when I log on.
Get started, open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW twice. Allow to complete, check the above secpol setting, shut down the computer all the way.
Now start up and test.

FYI secpol.msc is only available in Windows 8/8.1 Pro. In the non Pro versions you will run into an error message stating that it can't find secpol.msc
Same goes for the gpedit.msc console.

Thank you, That all I needed to do.
Computer, Right Click, Manage, Local Users and Groups, Users
Once you know this, also look in Control Panel, Users,
You can delete users in Local Users (Do NOT delete an admin account).
Check in Control Panel if YOU are member of Administrators.
I am not sure but some user looks like it precedes you. Let's identify and see what we do with it.
