    Win 10 not asking for password

    Do you use a Microsoft account at present? If so, it may have been set to automatically sign in. You can turn that off, then you would be asked for your password.

    Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup

    But if you are using an automatic sign in, make sure you know what your password is before tuning it off, else you may lock yourself out.

    That suggests you are using a local account with a blank password, if the local account has a blank password it will go straight in even with that setting ticked. Just set an easy to remember password should fix that.

    App automatically signs in with out asking Password

    Hello Bennett,

    Thank you for keeping us posted.

    I really appreciate all your efforts in trying to fix the issue.

    I would suggest you to switch current Microsoft User Account to Local Account and then create new user profile and then try signing into that account using your Microsoft account and check if that helps. Please follow the
    steps given below.

    How to update windows Live Accounts into Local Accounts in windows 8.1


    • First go to the Start Menu and start typing “Account” you will find the option “Your account settings

    • Click and launch the setting page.

    • Click on start menu and go to account settings.

    • Go to Your accounts.

    • Click “Disconnect” Windows 8.1 account settings
    Note: This will launch a prompt, you will need to confirm your current Windows Live account password. Also note by switching to your local accounts,
    you will NOT lose the settings or any files, the only advantage you will be missing out is the sync between other devices.


    • Confirm switch to local Windows 8.1 accounts

    • Now, create your local account password and hint.

    • Switch to local Windows 8.1 accounts, confirm password
    Note: Windows will tell you in detail of what it means to switch to a local account. Read carefully if you have any concerns.

    Switch to local accounts windows 8.1

    That’s it, Windows will then log out the current account, and you will be able to log back in with the local accounts you have just created. All the cloud sync services will be disabled, if you changed your mind about going
    back to have a local account, you can always reconnect this local accounts to a Windows Live accounts.

    How to convert Local account to Microsoft account, please follow the steps given below.


    • On your keyboard press
      Win+C
      , and from the Charm bar that appears click Settings.

    • Now click on Change PC settings.

    • In the left pane, click on Users.

    • In the right pane click on Switch to Microsoft account.

    • Enter your current password and click
      next.

    • If you already have a Microsoft account, enter the associated email address.

    • If you already have a Microsoft account (i.e. Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Xbox, or Outlook.com account), enter your password. Otherwise, fill out the form to create your account. Click
      Next.

    • Fill in the security information in order to recover your account in case of loss of password and click
      next.

    • Finally, click on Finish.

    • You will receive an email asking you to confirm the association of Windows 8 account. Make sure to complete the confirmation process.

    • You are now connected with your Microsoft account.

    • Next time when you start Windows, simply log in with your Microsoft account.
    The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

    You may also try running SFC scan and check if that helps.
