\nMethod 2. Configure your login settings via the User Accounts panel.<\/h3>\n
If you are tired of typing a password every time your PC boots, you can tweak your account settings to switch on the automatic logon feature in Windows 10.<\/p>\n
Here is how to perform the trick:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Type
Windows key + R<\/code> on your keyboard -> Typenetplwiz<\/code>into the Run box -> Press Enter<\/em><\/li>\n- Enter the User Accounts<\/em> dialog box -> Select your user account<\/li>\n
- Find the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer<\/em>\u00a0option -> Uncheck it -> Apply<\/em><\/li>\n
- You will see the Automatically sign in dialog box -> Type your password into the appropriate line -> Then confirm your password -> Click OK.<\/em><\/li>\n
- After saving the changes, restart your PC to see if you can skip the login screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
On Windows 11:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Launch the Settings app using the
Windows + I<\/code> keys and open Accounts -> Sign-in options<\/em>.<\/li>\n- Check if the For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft Accounts on this device (Recommended)<\/em>\u00a0option under Additional settings<\/em>\u00a0is activated. If it is, toggle the button to turn it off. If the option is grayed out, log out of your account and log back in.<\/li>\n
- You will be prompted for a password. Enter it and hit\u00a0Yes<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Now, hit the\u00a0Windows + R<\/em>\u00a0hotkeys to launch the\u00a0Run\u00a0<\/em>dialog box. Type or paste\u00a0the command
netplwiz\u00a0<\/code>and press the\u00a0Enter <\/em>key.<\/li>\n- On the\u00a0User Accounts<\/em> window, uncheck the option Users must enter a username and password to use this computer<\/em>.<\/li>\n

- You\u2019ll be prompted to enter your password to validate the change.<\/li>\n
- The next time you start your Windows 11 computer, it should automatically log in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sometimes, auto login in Windows 11 may not work if any of the Windows Hello sign-in options (Facial recognition, Fingerprint recognition, or PIN) are enabled.<\/p>\n
Therefore, you may need to disable Windows Hello and try to enable auto-login.<\/p>\n
To do that:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Select your current sign-in method, and click the Remove<\/em>\u00a0button.<\/li>\n
- Select the Remove<\/em>\u00a0button again to confirm your action.<\/li>\n
- Next, enter your password to confirm your identity and click\u00a0OK<\/em>.<\/li>\n
- Once you’re done, repeat the steps above to enable automatic login on your Windows 11 PC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You should disable auto logon if you want to undo the changes and password-protect your computer.<\/p>\n
Just go the \u2018Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer\u2019 option and check it.<\/p>\n

\nMethod 4. Modify your Windows Registry to enable automatic login.<\/h3>\n
This tweak requires much caution. Editing your registry is quite risky \u2013 it may cause your system to fall apart, so there is no excuse for sloppiness in this kind of work.<\/p>\n
To begin with, back up your important files to prevent permanent data loss.<\/p>\n
You can migrate your data to another PC using a transfer cable or the HomeGroup<\/em> feature.<\/p>\n
You can also use a cloud solution, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., or a portable storage device (an external drive will come in very handy for this purpose).<\/p>\n
Our article provides more information on these methods, but remember that they all involve a substantial amount of manual work.<\/p>\n
