Windows 11 Auto login

[Bbbbbobby]

I have installed Windows 11 on my desktop but I want it to auto login. I know there's a way to do this with a fresh install with a local account, but I don't want to re install Windows and everything I have. Is there a way after installation to do this?

There's a place in the registry for you to enter a default login user/password. Should still work in Win11

It says server, but I've used this to configure both server and win10 pro.

Disable Windows Hello first

After that, run netplwiz and you can uncheck the "require username and password for logon"

Or keep Windows Hello, and use Microsoft Autologon tool

Simply run it, enter your account password, hit OK, and voila! Assuming you entered your account password correctly, restart and it will auto login.
