Getting rid of password and/or logon screen

Hello,

I recently asked this question so if asking again isn't OK, I apologize.

Anyway, I can't get rid of the logon screen in Win 10 so my PC can boot directly to the Win 10 desktop. I still need some help doing that. Here is what I have tried so far:

A. I tried the two steps listed in "How to Bypass Windows 10 Password and Automatically Login". They didn't work.

B. I tries using netplwiz but that was basically the same as "A" and it didn't work.

C. I tried Password Refixer but it didn't work.

In trying to use the above methods I somehow ended up with a 2nd user. The problem is this: that user doesn't appear in My Users so I can delete it or doing something about it.

Having to type in a password every time an application or an update needs to restart my computer becomes very annoying after the first time or two. Also, I much prefer booting directly to my Win 10 desktop.

TIS,

kk

 

Picture Password is dithered

Hi Joan,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We will help you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions regarding the query:

• What happens when you click on Add option from the settings page?
• Do you get any error message?
• Are you using Microsoft account credentials to login into your PC?

Method 1: This seems to be a temporary issue, I suggest you to reboot the PC and check if you are able to set the picture password.



Method 2: If the issue persist, convert the Microsoft account to a Local account and back to Microsoft account and check if you are able to set the picture password:

Step 1: To convert to local account, follow the steps below:

• Sign in to your Microsoft account on Windows 10.
• Click Start and then PC settings.
• Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Disconnect on the right of the screen.
• Enter your Microsoft account's password, and click on Next.
• Type in a Username, Password, and
  Password Hint that you want set for your Local account and click
  Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.

Step 2: To switch back to Microsoft account, follow these steps:

• On the newly converted Local account, click Start and then PC Settings.
• Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Connect to a Microsoft account.
• Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password, and click Next.
• Choose if you want OneDrive as your default file saving location, click Next.

Hope this helps!

Hi Avabo,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

Let me assist you with the query.

To assist you better, I would like to know when you say ‘’ I really love some of the pictures that windows randomly puts up in my pre-login screen’’ do you refer to the picture inside the circle or the login screen page?

You can go to the settings and change the picture of circle. However, please be informed that you cannot change the log-in screen page it is by design.

• 
  Go to settings and click on Accounts.
  
• 
  Click on Your email and accounts, click on
  Browse under the circle and select a picture.
  

Hope this helps. Please post in case you have any further issues, we will be glad to help you further.
