    After rebooting, how do I force my PC to require a password?


    Hello

    How do I force my PC to require a password when logging in?

    I tried running NETPLWIZ but although "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" is ticked this is NOT TRUE. As things stand after I reboot, the username is defaulted and I simply click "Sign in" and I'm in, without requiring a password!

    Thanks

    J

    :)

    Windows User ID Changed to MSN ID

    Since upgrading from Windows 7 to 10, when the computer reboots, it forces me to log in with my LIVE ID or MSN ID... whatever it's called. Where did my Windows ID for this computer go and how do I get it back? Furthermore, how do I change Windows to not
    require a login at all on a reboot? I don't see a setting for that.

    Sorry guys, but I don't use that MSN account for much and I don't appreciate being forced to use it.
