🔐 At first glance, the Windows sign-in screen seems straightforward: every user account you've created appears in a neat list, ready to be selected. What many people don't realize is that Windows also includes a built-in feature that lets you hide specific accounts from that list without deleting or disabling them.

This can be incredibly useful if you want to keep an administrator account out of sight, create a maintenance profile that only you know about, reduce clutter on a shared family PC, or simply add an extra layer of privacy. The account continues to work normally—it just won't be visible on the login screen.

The best part is that you don't need third-party utilities, registry "cleaners," or complicated tweaks. With a simple built-in Windows configuration, you can make a user account effectively invisible while still allowing authorized access whenever it's needed.

In this guide, we'll explain how the feature works, when it's worth using, its limitations, and the safest way to enable or reverse it on modern versions of Windows. ⬇️
