For security and administration issues in Windows 10, it is ideal to know when was the last login in Windows 10 , so we know with certainty when and by whom, we know that when accessing the lock screen we will only see the current user, or the list of users, as well as the options to turn off or restart the computer and have the option of going to the accessibility options..
The login is necessary to be able to enter our computer through the Windows 10 login. If we suspect that someone has been able to enter our computer without permission, it is better that we check if someone has entered my computer .
