Hi!
This is a weird one.
After logging into my Microsoft account (not using local account), in approximately ~30m my name changes from my actual name to my @outlook.com email address. It's shown in the login screen and int the settings app, under "Your info". Its visible even in Control Panel / Users.
I can get my name back if I logout from Microsoft Account using "Sign in with a local account instead" option, logging out and signing in again, but the whole process repeats every time.
- It should look like this
- But it looks like this
This is super annoying. It also affects HomeGroup.
I've tried to update my actual name to something else from Microsoft Account page, hoped that it would trigger a name update, but had no luck.
I want my real name to stay and Microsoft account to be connected.
Thanks in advance.

Fixed it by searching through the registry for my email and changed all places that had FirstName, LastName, FullName, Initials values empty and filled them with data. Worked.
