My account name is Lucas, but it shows as Lucas-Asus. How do I remove -Asus?

-2

I need to remove the -Asus sulfix from my Windows Account Name, but whenever I look I just see Lucas as username.

GTA V has a bug that crashes if the windows username contains special characters.

Looking the logs of the crash in the Event Viewer, I saw the computer name was Lucas-Asus.

This didn't work: Windows 7 changes my account name... except it does not. How do I REALLY change my account name? (no sign of -Asus sulfix)

Lucas-Asus is not YOUR Username but your PC's aka Hostname

look either in system settings > Computer Name and Edit there

outlined in this microsoft support link:

Yep, you are right. Restarting to see if it works... brb – Lucas Bustamante – 2015-04-14T05:13:08.967

Yes, the above is right, the name-ASUS is your hostname (default from when you installed windows). Change that and you'll be fine. – Overmind – 2015-04-14T05:31:13.870

As a side note for future installs... when asked about 'PC Name' use what is desired at final to avoid this... – linuxdev2013 – 2015-04-14T05:33:30.720
