I have just created a bootable Linux USB and added three accounts: My Account, My brothers account and a Guest account. every time i boot Linux up it used to log me straight into the "mint" default account. I changed it so it would log into mine hoping that a login screen would show up since all the others accounts require a password. But it logs me straight into mine. I would like a logon screen to show up when i boot into Linux but this doesn't occur. I can switch users after it log's me in to another and it shows the logon screen there but not when i first boot it up. Is there is a way for a logon screen to show up after booting into Linux Mint 19 on a bootable USB? Also would there be any way to disable the "mint" account. I am using Linux mint 19 Cinnamon.
Linux Mint 19 no login screen

On install there is an option when creating your username to autologin or manual login. To change this after install you need to:
menu --> Administration --> Login Window
Click the "Users" at the top, then delete the user that is in the "Username" box under Automatic Login. Close and reboot and you should be presented with a list of users to login with.
