Windows 10: How to make Windows 10 start without a login? There is no tick box while trying to use...

I need a computer running Window 10 Home Version 21H1 OS Build 1904.1165 - to start automatically and start my Security camera software automatically, say after a power outage. The BIOS is already set to restart the computer when the power returns. The problem is the windows sign in, and I've tried everything in the guide to NETPLWIZ including adding another account. The tick box for 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" does not show up at all. The security software starting on its own is no problem, I just can't get past the Windows 10 sign-in screen, even wi

Login Box is missing when starting the computer

Does Microsoft have any more ideas on how to solve the problem of not having the login box on start up.

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

We would ask you to NOT do a clean install of Windows 10. Rather we ask you to uninstall the Anniversary update and then check if it helps.

The suggestion to go back to an earlier version before the installation of the Anniversary Update was not available.

I can limp along with having to do a Restart after a start up, but what happens if someday that does not work and I never get the login box? It seems like there should be a solution without having to do a clean install of Windows. Is anyone at Microsoft
working on a solution?

I have not yet turned off the login as mentioned in the previous post. It seemed like there were some other problems with doing that.

 

No password login box

Hi Helen,

There could be changes made with the settings on your computer that has disabled the option to have users to log in with a username and password. This should be enabled back to get again the login window.

If you're able to login to your system without using the password, please follow these steps to enable the login window during startup:

• Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
• In the Run field, type in control userpasswords2 and hit
  Enter.
• In the User Accounts dialog box, check the box for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
• Click Apply, then OK.
• Restart your computer and see if you're prompted with the login window.

In case you can't login to your system, please boot your computer in Safe Mode. Check out the link,

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10 and follow the steps in From the sign-in screen. Once you're in Safe Mode, follow the steps above to enable the password prompt. Once done, restart your computer to go back to normal mode.

Update us on how it goes so we can assist you further.

Regards.
