Windows 10 apps can access user account details like name, picture and other related information. Though this is for providing personalized user experience, this access can be disabled if needed for privacy concerns.

Here is how :

Click on the Windows Start button and choose Settings.

Windows 10 start menu

Next, select Privacy

Windows 10 settings

Drill down to Account info and turn the slider to Off as shown.

disable account info access for Windows 10 apps

From now on, apps won’t be able to access account details. If this causes any degradation in user experience, the specific apps can always be allowed to access these details as they will be listed here.

All done.
