I am trying to hide an active user account from sight in::

Desktop>
Right-click This PC>
Manage>
Local Users and Groups>
Users>

Q.
Is there a way to make one of these user accounts hidden from sight without the account itself being disabled? (Tried to add an image but this site apparently breaks all images... )
 
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... :(
