Windows 10: how do I get new windows 11 pc to auto-login without Netplwiz ro Registry?

I have a new Windows 11 PC at a non-profit Food Pantry, which needs to logon automatically, giving itself a password. Neither the Netplwiz nor Windows Registry AutoAdminLogon approaches seem to work. Other ideas?

20H2 Netplwiz no longer has auto login

Just updated to 20H2 on a new build and when I ran Netplwiz there is no option for auto login. There is no option to turn on/off Hello anymore either.

Any idea if we will still be able to auto login anymore?

 

How to auto login windows 10 if i use Microsoft account?

I didn't solve this by your suggestion. However, i reinstalled windows10, and log in with Microsoft account from start. Then netplwiz works well.

I found a interesting phenomenon. After unchecking the box of netplwiz, and type a wrong password, netplwiz will also exit with no error. Does it mean netplwiz only sotres the password i input and use this for logging in?

I have two hypothesises about netplwiz.

1. auto login feature is a kernel feature, netplwiz just call this feature, the password you need to input after unchecking the box is just for authentication of current user.
2. auto login feature is provided at userspace by netplwiz. the password you need to input after unchecking the box is stored somewhere and netplwiz will use this password to log in windows

At first i think first one is correct, but now it seems that second is correct, am i right?
