    How to start Windows 10 with logged in but locked user?


    I have some scheduled tasks that runs on my profile. Computer is shared but always on. If it's restarted schedule does not work as my profile is not running. So my question is there any way to start computer with my my profile logged in but locked?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Windows 10 start up user account

    Hi Jim,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with log-in user account, we will help you to resolve this issue.

    Kindly provide us with the following information to assist you better:

    • How many user accounts are there on your computer?
    • Is your computer connect to Domain?
    • Were you able to see your another user account on start-up screen?

    If you are able to see another user account on start-up screen, I suggest you to login through that account and enable the built-in admin account.

    After enabling the built-in admin account you can login through that account and delete the default account.

    Step 1: Steps to enable built-in admin account

    Try to login to your temporary user account, enable built in administrator.

      • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
      • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open Command Prompt.
      • Type the following command and hit Enter:

    net user administrator /active: yes (Check for the spaces)

    4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.

    Step 2: Steps to delete the account:


    • Login with the built-in administrator account.

    • Press “Windows key + X" from the keyboard and click on
      Search icon.

    • Type Control Panel in the search box, click on “User accounts” and on
      "Manage another account"

    • Click the on the default account you want to delete and Delete.

    Hope it helps. Kindly get back with the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
