Windows 10: Can't seem to login automatically

This is a new computer and it is making me nuts that I cannot login automatically to Windows 10. To be clear, I can login, so this is pretty OCD, but I have a duplicate account that I cannot login to, and an administrator account that always asks for my password.

Netplwiz shows only one account and "Users must enter user name and password to use this computer" is unchecked. But I still need to use a password. When I first tried to do this (uncheck the radio button in netplwiz) it prompted me to enter a password. I don't recall if I did or not, but now there is a second account account that appears on the login screen. It is also me -- by appearances a duplicate account -- but I cannot login to that one. None of my usual passwords work and leaving the password blank does not work, I am always told that my username or password is wrong. If I select the other account, then I can login by entering my password. The one I cannot login to seems to be the default option.

Nothing I do seems to work and I would appreciate any help on this. Most of my web searches tell me to unclick the radio button in 'Netplwiz' but that does not seem to work. I have also tried to edit the registry and have AutoAdminLogon set to 1.

Is there some way to get rid of the duplicate, non-functional login and login automatically as administrator? Or, in any case, to just login automatically to some account?

Edit: Under 'Local Users and Groups (Local)/Users there are five accounts listed: Administrator, DefaultAccount, one with my name, Guest, and WDAGUtility.
