I want to remove all startup login options from Win10

I am the only user of my new H-P desktop running Win10. i do not want any login password options, but they won't go away.

-- i unchecked everything i could in the Control Panel Security section - still comes up with password screen.

-- i unchecked "netplwiz" password option - still asking for password.

-- i tried changing Administrator to Local account, still comes up with password on startup screen

-- if you go to Control Panel/User Accounts/Change Account Type/, it shows my local account and says it's password protected

how do i permanently remove the password so i never see it again? honestly, i really miss Win7 - it was awesome. Win10 stinks.

Hi Ksenya. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 years Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

Changing Admin to Local account is not a good idea if you're the owner of the PC as you should be the Admin or will be prompted by UAC to approve everything you're doing. I would change it back.

Then follow these steps as the Admin to skip Sign in Screen:

If you want it to start to Desktop then you also need to remove the Lock Screen:

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
