Problems getting rid of windows login

[cried22]

Usually when I install windows, I am able to disable the login through NETPWIZ. It did not work this time. I have tried to re-enable and then disable it again, still no good. Then I disabled the pin and windows login in the user settings, but I still see a login screen!

Win10? You need to use local user without password.

If you use Win10 with your Microsoft account, then as security measurement it requires either pin code or password. Local account doesn't need such. So local account without password means that it will "log in" straigth.

hmmm ok ill google that set up. Thanks

There's nothing to Google, to be honest.  That's how it works.  No computer should be set to autologon or use blank passwords anymore.  I don't understand the avoidance of passwords.  How often are you rebooting or logging in and out?

^^^ I often leave the password blank when setting up an account, but once it's set up I go in and set a password. I do this do avoid the BS security questions Microsoft thought were a good idea for local accounts, since I often set up users for other people and my security questions answers would mean nothing to them, and asking them to give me answers relevant to them would be incredibly inconvenient for everyone involved. I never leave the password blank though, that's just asking for a bad time. Once you set up a password you can set a PIN as an alternate login, if you have a numpad then that takes under a second to tap in.

I reboot quite often. I run very high voltage to maintain my overclock on my 8086k. I don't want my computer on at all if I am not gaming.

So use a password.  I lock my work computer every time I step away from my desk.  You get into a rhythm typing in your password.  I'd be willing to guarantee I log in more frequently, and it's not an issue.

That being said, if I hated typing in a password that much, I think I'd drop down on the overclock a little.  Those were fun days when I cared about pushing numbers in benchmarks and games, but now I focus on actually using my computers.  To each his own, but I couldn't justify an overclock if it meant I couldn't run the computer.

I am saying I don't want a password. Last windows install this worked just fine. This time I was unable to get rid of it. Just looking for help bro.

We've been giving you the explanations and help from the beginning.  It's a security issue, but it was explained how to circumvent it.  First response.

Creating a local user was not required when I reinstalled windows 2 months ago. There must be another way.

I sleep 1m away from it so daily.

The way I said is only I know. That's how my moms home laptop is set up. There might be some registry edit, but I avoid those if possible.

In the run box type "control userpasswords2", uncheck "require users to enter a username and password...." and click OK. It will ask you for the username and password it should log in with by default. Account has a password and you don't need to log in every time.

Ever heard of a generalized image slapped on an Imaging software. Lets you do all the admin magic with out all the end user bs one time. It blew my mind the first time my old coworker showed me that. OR (cus poeple like variety) if you are replacing a machine, just transwiz that profile right over.
