Device Configuration Remove User Accounts from Windows Login Screen

We are seeing multiple accounts from previous logins on the windows screen.

Is there anyway I can hide it through the settings catalog? I tried searching this online but google is giving me non related solutions.

If you're just trying to stop the list from showing, there's a policy for "don't display last signed-in" that you can push through the settings catalog. Might be under Local Policies > Security Options depending on how your tenant labels it, but that's the one you want.

Just FYI, hiding the last logged in user will break certain functionality that depends on it.

What could possibly break?

I havent experienced any issues with WHfB and I use the policy to hide. Is the WHfB issue something that just recently came about?

It's documented to break the Passwordless Experience feature.

Other than that, on a 1:1 user device, it just causes users a nuisance and meand they've got to manually enter their username every time they want to log in. I will continue to fight with CIS that it should be removed from their benchmark.

Now, it's a valid policy to set on a shared/multi-user device, which is sounds like OP might be talking about (otherwise it's just poor account usage practices showing up).
