Windows 10 sign-in screen by default shows user name and other account details like email address. The Windows 10 anniversary update as a privacy enhancement has added a feature to prevent displaying such account details. (The update already prevents displaying default email address on lock screen).

Here is how to access and turn it off :

Access Windows 10 settings (Action Center > All settings).

Choose Accounts.

Accessing Windows 10 Accounts settings

Click on Sign-in options.

Windows 10 accounts sign-in options

Under the Privacy tab, turn the slider to Off.

turn off displaying account details on sign-in screen

The login screen will now only display the user name and no other details except that.

All done.
