  1. Auto login then switch user


    Hello, I use wake on lan to boot my pc to access and use it remotely. On Windows 7 I remember being able to auto log on with the set password to my account and then have it switch users right away so it was still password protected but my remote connecting software would load. I do not remember how I achieved this on 7 and wish to be able to do this since I have moved to Windows 10. Any help us greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    Going to local login broke ability login without password prompt

    Thanks for the quick response. I am not locked out; I am able to login, and can change passwords. At this point my questions are:

    Is it reasonable to switch back and forth between local login and MS login, or is it intended to you pick one and stay with it?

    Is it intended that after switching to a local login, the ability to auto-login (by setting in netplzwix) no longer works?

    When the laptop booted, it created a user directory with "rdenn" .. a mutilated 5 character version of my email name. And it also seems to have chosen that for my (only; admin) account user name. Is that associated with my MS login account, or my local login?
    If the former, why does switching to local login change it? If the latter, how can one hope to switch back to MS login without correcting that (which is what I had to do via netplwiz to untangled things).

    Win 10 auto login

    I have updated to win 10 and would like to use auto login . There are 3 different users in our household for this pc. I tried the "control userpasswords2" with no luck even though it says auto logon. Every time I switch to a different user a password must
    be entered. We never had this issue with win 7. Any fixes?

  4. Auto login then switch user

    Hello Firebird5150 Welcome to the Ten Forums!

    I haven't been running anything with a lan or other form of wake up method but perhaps what I use on both 10 as well as 7 and even on VMs to connect desktops back and forth as well as see VMs and a new 10 laptop connect remotely could prove to be a help there. Without spending on a commercial license you can use the Team Viewer program for the substitute of the usual remote access function seen in Windows.

    Once the remote pc is woken up you would then simply connect to it by way of the TV program where you can switch from one account to another even when having the hidden built in system administrator account enabled. The process would be a fast logout of one and sign in to the other. That would mean having to re-enter the next account's password being the only inconvenience.

    With 10 as well as with 7 the main account still requires a password there for the autologon option. The guide you will need to look over is seen in the 10F tutorial section. Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup - Windows 10 Forums

    That's one I still have to go over here since between desktops and vms I get too busy signing in at times! *Eek*Biggrin I'm quite sure you are also looking to cut that time down a bit as well. The TV program will get timed out after any lengthy period of inactivity however since you are accessing one to the TV servers to see this type of connection work. Each machine connects to each other by way of the server.
