Windows 10: How to prevent an account from Auto Logging in after PC is turned on

Right now have an issue that is a nuisance. There are several user accounts on our Windows 10 pc. Recently one of the accounts has been auto logging in. This happens after the computer is shut down and then powered back on at a later time. This account is the last one that was logged on. It is not password protected. Is there way stop this without having to go in to the registry? Thank you. I appreciate any help.

How to Prevent IE from Automatically Logging In to Office 365

Thx. Tried this. No difference. This behavior only on IE11, not on other browsers. Only in Win10, not on Win7. Started recently, but nothing changed on my end.

 

How to Prevent IE from Automatically Logging In to Office 365

Hi,

It's odd that even after clearing the cache and cookies of the browser that you're using for your Office 365 login, the credentials of your account are still saved and let you to automatically log in. We appreciate that you tried to resolve your concern
by checking the steps on the link that you provided. However, we suggest that you change your account password, then clear the cache and cookies again of the browser that you're using. Once done, check if the automatic log in persists. We also suggest that
you reset the settings of the browser that you're using. Follow the steps in this
article if you're using Internet Explorer.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

 

Hello mc7791, *Smile

The easiest way to stop this would be to password protect the account.

Yeah the only problem is that the person with the account would not like that. I was hoping for another work around. This all started recently. No changes to any accounts were made.

 

Having an account without a password is a security risk. Even if it wasn't the last one used anyone who knows the account name can log in without a password. This is usually not a good idea on a computer with multiple users.

 

If it's an issue about remembering it, they could use something real simple for their password.

 

I think you have to tell the people who use the computer to "Log Off" when they are finished instead of "Shutdown"
