I want Windows to show the last user logged, so I only need to type my password, and I don't need to select my username. I thought it should be the default Windows behavior, but I've just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro x64 and I need to select my user account every time.
I've done some homework, I know about the:
Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
Select Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
Look for "Interactive logon: Do not display last user name"
This security setting determines whether the name of the last user to log on to the computer is displayed in the Windows logon screen.
If this policy is enabled, the name of the last user to successfully log on is not displayed in the Log On to Windows dialog box.
If this policy is disabled, the name of the last user to log on is displayed.
Default: Disabled
It is already Disabled! So, What I'm missing here??
funny thing is, I just found a computer configured this way, and I don't know how it's done. Computer is not in domain and has never been. Also, it's certainly not group policy (I checked all configured gpedit.msc entries, there are few), and not local security policy (I reset it by importing

). It's certainly not dontdisplaylastusername, which existed (tho was =0), yet I removed it by hand to ensure. Here's how it looks: https://photos.app.goo.gl/G95ncCehwR9Ebbki8Interestingly, there are people asking about reversing it, and say it's related to "classic logon" policy option (on Server 2008) https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/55bf8e73-1e78-45f1-afe2-803a8db6ad90/classic-logon?forum=winservergen. It's not tho, I've tried all 3 modes: Enabled, Disabled and Undefined, with no visible difference.
