Windows 10: computer keeps asking for password to login even though I turned it off

I am at a complete loss. I am the only person who uses my computer. I don't want to have to put in a pin or password when I turn my computer on. I have changed the settings to no password. I have gone to netplwz and reset it there to not ask for a password. And yet...it asks me EVERY DAMN TIME.


I am getting so tired of Microsoft making everything so difficult. I'm in the middle of doing a couple things making recovery media - that isn't working Trying to format a USB thumbdrive - that doesn't want to work either.


So frustrated.


But let's start with the password. Maybe there's another way to do this but if there is I can't find it.

Windows keeps asking for Network Credentials even though I turned off password requirements

Hi Andy,

The password protected sharing is enabled by default on the latest Windows 10 versions. To edit your passwords and how you share on your Homegroup by going to the
Change advanced sharing settings. To know more regarding Homegroup, you can check this
link. Ensure the following to stop receiving a password prompt:

• Turn off password protected sharing. Type Network and Sharing Center in the Cortana search bar > select Advanced Sharing Setting > select Turn off password protected sharing for all networks. This must be disabled on the target/server device.
  
• Let Windows manage the HomeGroup. Type Network and Sharing Center in the Cortana search bar > Advanced Sharing Setting > HomeGroup Connections > select "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)." It will ask you to sign out, then sign
  back in to be able to access network shares/devices without being asked for credentials.

If the issue persists, leave the Homegroup and join again. Additionally, we recommend posting this to our
TechNet Forum that is responsible for a work environment that has multiple computers.

Let us know how it went or if you need further help.

 

Windows 10 is asking for a password even though the option is unchecked

I unchecked the option to have Windows 10 ask for a password. It worked for a day or two but now it's requiring a password again upon waking up or rebooting--even though the option is still unchecked. I made a registry change that was suggested and it has not worked. How can I get Windows 10 to stop ignoring my changes?
