My login screen is different from what I see from other Windows 8 and does not have my username/profile picture automatically saved. Here is an example I found online (first green image on the page (5th jpg)

enter image description here

Instead, what is shown on the regular login screen are two icons both of which are gray squares with a "key" inside as the image. When I click on the key icon on the left, it asks to input a Username and a Password. The key icon on the right asks for an Email and Password. Why is there both? How come my username is not automatically saved so all I have to do is put in a password?

I'm assuming what I should see on the screen are two icons: one with my name synced to it as well as the profile picture (requiring only the password) and the other one for guest. Am I wrong?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Vivian, when you have your own problem you should open a new question. Answers are for answers to the current question.

  • "My situation is a little different" - is this a continuation of someone elses question or something? Also, I don't really understand the problem. Can you provide more info on your computer setup? Is it a corporate computer or a home one?

  • Sorry Isaac, I thought I posted a new question. How can I tell from this? The "my situation is a little different" was mentioned because I couldn't find my solution on the website. @Sam: this is a home computer, Lenovo U310 with Windows 8. Does that help?

  • Yes it does. Lenovo installs a lot of bloatware. I've just ordered a Lenovo laptop and the first thing I will do when I get it is format it. Also, I could tell from this "my situation is a little different" because it just seemed like a continuation of another question. It's the wording.

  • Sorry about the wording. @Sam, do you know the solution to my problem? Or should I post another question for clarity sake?

I had the same problem. It seems Cisco AnyConnect caused this. I uninstalled the program and the problem was gone. I have read that this occurs with many other VPN clients.
