How do you change the default Apple ID Username login in on a Windows PC?

I changed my Apple ID username but my Windows PC keeps pulling up my old ID without an option to change it. The only change I can make is the password. How do I change the wrong default Apple ID username?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Windows PC

Open iCloud for Windows and click Sign Out.

If you're signed out, sign in with your updated Apple ID and password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID:

1. Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your PC. Click Delete. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
2. Sign in with your updated Apple ID and password.
