Brand new computer with Windows 11 Pro and upset that my full name is showing on the login screen and elsewhere else on the computer. My name is not needed to be displayed on my computer (log in, Start, etc.), this info should be kept hidden. I'd accept an alias or "user" or some other device, but my name should not be visible on general screens. I have tried several suggestions from the "community" but nothing works.

Hello!! I have been trying to contact Microsoft Support directly, but apparently that isn't something you can do. I have been trying to download and install update KB5050094. It seems to go through the whole process, but after it reaches 99% complete it errors out. I recieve the same error message as the one listed for the Citrix Session Recording Monitor issue. However, when I look for that, or anything like it, in services, I don't find anything?? Is there anyone out there that is having the same issue and managed to solve it?? I would really very much appreciate any help I can get withView the full article

I've been having an issue with my fingerprint reader not working. My Dell XPS 13 9345 (ARM64) keeps showing the message: "This option is currently unavailable" and "We couldn't find a fingerprint scanner compatible with Windows Hello Fingerprint."

The driver I keep reinstalling is the Goodix Fingerprint Sensor Driver. After it stops working, it's not listed in Device Manager, and when I reinstalView the full article
