Default to "Work or School" account

I have performed a BMR on a Surface Hub 1.  Most everything works but when at the main lock screen and selecting to "Sign In", the user is presented with the option to type in a user name or choose to use a Work or School account.  After choosing the Work or School account option, the user can sign in and then is presented with an option to stay signed in on the hub.  Effectively there are two extra steps here that are just a hassle.

 

As we only use Azure AD accounts, I would prefer if this option was the default.  I had previously installed the insider build on a couple of Hubs and with that build, the two extra steps above weren't there.  

 

My question is whether or not everyone is seeing this or if I might have a configuration problem.  The device appears to be properly Azure joined.  Any other ideas?

      Hello Glenn Chubak,

       

      This is expected. The first option allows users that were invited in the ongoing meeting to easily sign in. This is explained here.

      If you don't want this feature, you can configure the Properties/DisableSigninSuggestions CSP. More on this here.

       

      Best regards,

      Cezar

        cezarcretu  Thanks.  I think that makes sense.  To me it would be great if you could search for any user from the dialog rather than needing to hit the "Work or School Account" button before searching.  This is a bit confusing to users who might simply type their credentials into the search and be surprised when their user isn't found.

    Glenn Chubak Specifically, I'm trying to see if this screen is really necessary.  It doesn't appear on my insider devices and I'd love to get rid of it.

      Glenn Chubak Can anyone at least let me know if what I'm seeing is normal?  Does everyone need to select the "Work or School Account" option and then confirm a dialog to reduce sign ins?
