Option 1:

Delete all other user accounts on the system.

Option 2:

Use a machine policy to hide fast user switching.

• Start > Run > type gpedit.msc and hit enter.
• Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon and enable "Hide entry points for Fast User Switching".
• Start > Run > type gpupdate /force and hit enter.
• If it doesn't make you, reboot to have the setting take effect.

If you're using a Home/non-Pro version of Windows where the policy editor is missing, you can apply the same policy manually by editing the registry directly:

• Start > Run > type regedit.exe and hit enter.
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
• Create a DWORD (32-bit) Value named HideFastUserSwitching (right-click on the right side of the editor and select New > DWORD(32bit) Value.
• Set the Value data for HideFastUserSwitching to 1.
• Exit Regedit and reboot the machine.
