Quick question about the name on the Start screen...


Recommended Posts

Hi! I just noticed that everyone have their names showing up in two lines at the top right corner on the start screen.(a line with bigger font size, and a line with smaller font size) For me, my whole name shows up in just one line with the bigger font size. I checked my microsoft account settings and everything configured properly. Anyone knows what could cause this? I know this is just a tiny thing but it annoys me...

It is configured like that so last name and first name configured into their fields, and it shows my name in one line. I even tried to modify my contact information on outlook.com but no change...

And I noticed that If I rename myself for anything (for example First name:One and Last name:Two), in Windows 8 it's still showing my real name even after I restarted the pc. :/

I started to think that I get my name in one line because in my country we write our surname first. So in my case, my surname would be written with bigger fonts, and that would be silly.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.
    • Well done Massie. This is how to treat the Fox News filth.   
    • I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
