I loaned my device to someone for them to participate in a Zoom meeting. Now every time I join a meeting it shows her name and not mine. How can I permanently change my name back?

Previously, I was able to fix this ONLY after I uninstalled my desktop (Win10) app and installed a new/upgraded version but the old/temp Display Name i had used popped right back. Just now, I was able to fix it using your suggested method. I don't know if it's going to stick.
Can anyone please help me understand why one has to go to Zoom.us in a browser to fix this or anything at all in Profile?! The app also has Profile and it would be more convenient to change display name there as frequently as one would want.... The usual canard of Security? Privacy? WHERE is the convenience or elegance?

I received an email message reposting @chrismenard7's solution (above). But I already tried that and posted that it DID work. Thank you! I must say, however, that I did NOT receive any comment on my other questions/concerns.
