Where do you want to hide it from, the logon screen?

Basically I want to make it so that unless you are actually consciously logging into this account it is invisible on the computer, so, if I go to computer management and check local users and groups, it won't show up under users there, but the account still exists and is active. Is there a way to do that? And in fact, also a way to make the account NOT show up when you navigate to the Users folder. Basically, to simplify it, is there a way to make a completely invisible user account in Windows 10 Enterprise?

Nope, you can't hide them from computer management. You can only rename the built-in accounts or disable them.

Can't right? I cannot hide them from computer management? That's unfortunate. I'd even mess around with the reg to do it but if there really is no way...

Let me introduce myself, I'm Tanto Roni from Indonesia. I have a blog talks about Windows 10 tutorials. To hide user account is easy, you can see this article:

Cara Membuat User Account Rahasia Tersembunyi di Windows 10

This article uses Indonesian, but you can translate it into your language.
