  1. How do I set which one of two logons is used when I boot


    I have two logons on my laptop. I would like a specific logon to be used when I start/restart the laptop. Right now the logon I don't want is the one that's being used. Both logons have passwords.

    Boot Windows 10

    Windows 10 does not allow choice of user upon cold boot or reboot: show a User Screen to choose a user to logon.

    The PC will Automatically logon to the Last account used. I would like to choose which user to logon.

    I request to choose which user account to logon to: Windows 7 does this. Two users on this PC with no passwords.

    Question: When powered on: How can I choose which user will use PC?

    How do I set which one of two logons is used when I boot

    Hello Jim, *Smile

    By default, the last user is the one that is selected on the sign in screen at startup. You of course can select another account to sign in to instead though.


    If you wanted to have Windows automatically sign in to a specified account at startup, then you could use the tutorial below to do so.
