Autopilot error

Hi,

R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

My suggestion:

I am not sure, but disabling this service could cause other dependencies in your system to malfunction, which could explain the lagging and error messages that you're seeing.

To fix the issue, I would suggest re-enabling the "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Service" and then trying to troubleshoot the error messages that you're receiving. Here are the steps you can follow:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type "services.msc" and press Enter to open the Services window.

In the Services window, locate the "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant Service" and double-click on it.

In the properties window that opens, set the startup type to "Automatic" and click on the "Start" button to start the service if it's not already running.

Click "OK" to save your changes and close the properties window.

After re-enabling the service, restart your computer and see if the lagging and error messages have been resolved. If the problem persists, you may need to look into other troubleshooting steps such as running a virus scan or performing a system restore to a previous point in time before the issue occurred.

I hope this helps!

Autopilot/LTSC

Hi Mat, I have no idea what LTSC means? Anyhow, have a look at this article: Overview of Windows Autopilot | Microsoft Docs

PS: Windows Autopilot documentation | Microsoft Docs

PPS: I now know what LTSC means. 'Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC)'

Enrolling Windows Modern Devices using Autopilot and Azure Join (soti.net) "The following Microsoft Windows 10 editions are supported for Windows Autopilot:

• Windows 10 Pro
  
• Windows 10 Pro Education
  
• Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
  
• Windows 10 Enterprise
  
• Windows 10 Education
  
• Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC"
  

 

Sign in options defaults


On my 1703 build machine I have "Ctrl+Alt+Del" enabled at the logon screen. When the machine boots up I hit "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and I can see "Other User" where I can (by default) enter my username and password.

Since I don't use my password to login (I use Hello) I always have to click "Sign in options" and then I am presented with 4 boxes to click to select the type of logon I want to do:

1. Password
2. PIN
3. Microsoft account
4. Face/Hello

So I click Face and am logged on.

What I would like to know is, can you set the Face (Hello) to be the default so that when I do a "Ctrl+Alt+Del" after booting up it automatically logs me in using the Face/Hello option?

It's such a pain having to click through this each time the machine boots up. Funnily enough if you lock the machine it remembers the type of logon and uses Face/Hello to log me in automatically without me having to click anything.

Are there any options to configure the logon type defaults? I know I can disable the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" screen but would like to avoid this.

Thanks!
