Windows 10: How do I get rid of password when booting?

I have a desktop which never leaves my home. I live alone, no wife to check my email or look for porn in my browsing history. I have a rottweiler who doesn't like strangers and a pretty decent security system, so why does Windows 10 all of a sudden require me to type a password before I can use my computer? This started happening after one of the updates around the middle of the month. Does anybody know how to get rid of this annoyance?

How do I get rid of the password screen when I start my computer?

Thank you for your help. The login screen comes up after the HP logo appears and before the Windows logo. I was able to find a way to change the password by going into a Local Account rather than the Microsoft User Account. This is what I was looking
for. Again, thanx for your help.

Thanks Admin, the netplwiz solution did not work because the box was already unchecked. I used regedit and discovered there was no password string so I made one and it works fine. Now if I can just figure out how to keep the latest update from coming back after I deleted it and flashing an annoying warning message every time I check gmail.
