Windows 10 - Disable login

[Rom]

Hi,

Ive recently upgraded my pc, and Im struggling with disabling the login screen.

Was fine on my last 10 install, never asked me to login in, enter a pin or password.

Ive read loads of guides / videos. Tried netplwiz, they all say untick the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'

I dont have that box?!

I was logged in with my hotmail account. Ive created a local account, thinking maybe that would sort it. Still insists I enter my password every boot.

In sign In Options > Require sign in is set to never.

What am I missing? Currently have just the local account, set as admin.

It's a regkey fix because it appears Microsoft is removing the function gradually.

Start > Run > CMD (Command Prompt)

Type/Copy >

reg ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device" /v DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

.
Press enter

Then enter netplwiz again and walla.

Thank you!!!

This is what was driving me nuts, all the guides said about the box, and I didnt have it.

All sorted now, cheers

You are welcome.

Just to recap - This may be a security risk by not having a password on your system.

If it's ever stolen it's going to be wide open to take all your files and whatever else is on the system.

Doesn't stop it from been formatted though in the first place if they just want a new pc.

Yeah theres nothing meaningful on it, just for gaming.

Before I upgraded, never had to login in. So was annoying me having to this time round.
