Enter the username and password for the account you want to automatically logon
If you are using a Microsoft account, make sure to enter the full email address.
Type your full email address and enter your password and Click Ok
Click Ok again.

In addition, to turn off require sign-in on wake up.

Press Start then search sign-in options
under "Require Sign-in" select Never.

While that is not recommended, you can use this guide to disable the sign-in options during login,

Hello,

Please follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, type netplwiz and click OK.

2. In User Accounts dialog box, uncheck the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'. Then click OK button.

Even though this box is unclicked, it acts as if it is.

I never found the box in the small dialog box that came up after typing in netplwiz.

Hi John,

I tried doing this on my laptop, but it gave me a message that said I have to create an administrator's account. Why? I am the only person who uses my laptop. Do I have to do this? It sounds convoluted.

I struggle with MS Intention Tremors and sometimes am unable to correctly input the password. I want to be able to use my laptop untethered.

Please help me. Thank you!

I had enough of signing into my own computer and laptop when trying to go to my emails. Please stop this I can't stand it anymore. It's a big slowdown and interference. I don't need all the security for this.

I too have the same problem. I am using Version 23H2 OS Build 22631.2861.
When I follow the advice given by John Dev I do not see the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.
Does anyone have any other advice on this.

me too

"When I follow the advice given by John Dev I do not see the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box."

Just want a regular password to log in to a desktop going nowhere PC without Microsoft sticking their oar in before I can do anything. Despite repeatedly selecting don't ask next time I still have to use their authenticator app before I can do anything!

I don't have that option presented by John DeV and Kapil either.

So, if I start my computer & the internet is down, I can't even use my computer!! Please help!
