How to Enable Auto Login in Windows 10

How to Enable Auto Login in Windows 10

By Mitch Bartlett 6 Comments

You can make your Microsoft Windows 10 computer automatically login and bypass the login prompt whenever you start your computer by following this tutorial.

Note: These steps cannot be performed on a computer that is joined to a domain. These steps will not work on domain computers.

  1. Hold the Windows Key and press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.
  2. Type “control userpasswords2” without quotes, then select “OK“.

  3. The “User Accounts” box appears. Uncheck the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.” box. Select “OK” when you’re done.

  4. You will be prompted to enter the username and password for the account you wish to use automatically when Windows starts. Type the User name and password in both the “Password” and “Confirm Password” fields, then select “OK“.

Now the next time you start your Windows 10 computer, it will automatically login using the selected account.

If you ever want to enable the login prompt again, simply go back to the “User Accounts” screen using step 1 and 2, and check the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.” box.

    Would like to set the system with a *timed* autologin (set a default account to log into after a set period of time, but allow for me to login with my administrative account before the autologin proceeds). I have been able to do this on Linux for MANY years already.
