    Disable password when starting


    I am new to Windows 10. I created a password during my initial set up routine since I had no choice. But I want to enter Windows 10 desktop without using any passwords. So I found a process on the Internet that involved running netplwiz. I did that and now no more requests for a password. But now I am asked for an ID and password and the ID space shows a few letters that are the start of my email address. If I complete my email address and enter my email password, the I can access Windows 10 desktop. So how do I get rid of this new requirement to log in?

    :)
