My account name is Lucas, but it shows as Lucas-Asus. How do I remove -Asus?

Question

I need to remove the -Asus sulfix from my Windows Account Name, but whenever I look I just see Lucas as username.

GTA V has a bug that crashes if the windows username contains special characters.

Looking the logs of the crash in the Event Viewer, I saw the computer name was Lucas-Asus.

Lucas-Asus is not YOUR Username but your PC's aka Hostname

look either in system settings > Computer Name and Edit there

Yep, you are right. Restarting to see if it works... brb – Lucas Bustamante Apr 14 '15 at 05:13
Yes, the above is right, the name-ASUS is your hostname (default from when you installed windows). Change that and you'll be fine. – Overmind Apr 14 '15 at 05:31
As a side note for future installs... when asked about 'PC Name' use what is desired at final to avoid this... – linuxdev2013 Apr 14 '15 at 05:33
