Hi Oliver,
I would like to confirm my understanding is that when your concern is Run
as will keep the last username you have used. Do you mean another machine,
in "the following user" shows nothings in Run as?
Technically speaking, Run as doesn't remember previously used names. It
lists only usernames explicitly listed in the BUILTIN\Administrators group,
as well as Client Authentication certificates in the current user's
Personal cert store, including smart cards. (You can run certmgr.msc to see
your certifications).
I suggest you use the following steps to isolate this issue:
1. Bring up the Services window by input "services.msc" in run box and find
the service called "Protected Storage", set the service to manual and
disable the service.
2. Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider
Under the Protected Storage System Provider folder there will be subfolders
for the User profiles that are on this system. For example, you may see a
Default folder, a Local Machine folder and/or a username folder. If
the user has User Profiles turned on, select the username folder that
matches the customer's login name and export that key. After
exporting the key for safe keeping, highlight that username folder,
right-click on it and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
3. Exit the registry editor and reboot the system.
Any update, let us get in touch!
