  1. 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.

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Are you able to login to Microsoft Account on Web?

    • Have you installed any language pack?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to select the appropriate language in login screen at the bottom right corner and check if it helps.

    Steps 2: Use On-screen keyboard in the login screen to login and check if it helps.

    Vista Automatic Updating Error

    Resolution Suggestion:

    # To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

    A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

    1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

    3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

    4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

    5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

    6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

    7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.
