Windows wants a password at startup since latest update

Since I installed latest Windows 11 update, it has started asking for a password when my PC is switched on. I never had this setup before, and under user management the option to require a password is still disabled. Anyone know how I can get rid of this?

Thanks

Any ideas on this one please? I've looked through all the settings screens and can't see what option might be causing this.

Do you mean at computer startup or Windows logon?

At windows logon.

I don't want to enter password or pin, somehow managed to disable it before but after this update it's back. Initially it wanted the pin which I'd forgot, and I managed to get round that but now it's password.

For logon check the settings in Registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

AutoAdminLogon = 1
DefaultUserName =
DefaultPassword = (You may need to create this)

Thanks that has worked.
