    Auto sign in problem.

    Tnx guys, finally fixed it, Had to reinstate (and change) PIN (which was disabled) and than signed in with it. Got and used option in netplwiz to set auto login. Now it's what it should be. After every change had to reboot and go step by step.
    Now to check and clean system and make a new MR backup and restore point.
    Looking back I think it all started with KeePass which is now gone. I'm back on writing down passwords on paper and in a text file on desktop. That never fail as long as it's updated.

    20H2 Netplwiz no longer has auto login

    devnull;2184966-So, I disabled the indicated setting, "Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in)", in gpedit.msc, and now Sign-in options looks like this:

    But netplwiz has _not_ changed; the problem remains.Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

    My Accounts settings page shows the 'Requires Windows Hello' option which yours does not. I looked at my netplwiz and also did not have "Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to Use This Computer” checkbox. When I un-checked the Hello option (I do use Hello PIN) as in screenshot, "Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to Use This Computer” checkbox now appears in netplwiz. Why Hello option is not there may be due to your 'gpedit.msc' but that seems to explain why checkbox is missing in netplwiz. Re-enable password option in gpedit.msc and see if you can duplicate my 'Hello' option section. Good Luck

    20H2 Netplwiz no longer has auto login

    Thank you! I'll be working on this solution later tonight.

    So, I disabled the indicated setting, "Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in)", in gpedit.msc, and now Sign-in options looks like this:

    Note that the message in red font now says "not required", instead of "required", and the grayed-out dropdown menu now says "Never" instead of "When PC wakes up from sleep".

    But netplwiz has _not_ changed; the problem remains.

    Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

    UPDATE:
    I've just checked the Sign-in options on two other/older XPS desktops (an 8910 and an 8930), both of which are also running version 20H2. One of them has the Sign-in options showing exactly as shown in my first screenshot above, and the second of the two older PCs has the Sign-in options showing exactly as shown in my second screenshot above. Yet despite those two different configurations (regarding authentication or not when the PC wakes), both of those two other PCs show the "Users Must Enter a User Name and Password to Use This Computer” checkbox in netplwiz. This seems to suggest that the configuration of my sign-in options on my new XPS 8940 is _not_ the cause of this problem with netplwiz.
