Turn off auto-login?

To stop the automatic log-in, please follow the
auto-login to windows steps listed here, except when you get to the point to automatically login, check the box instead. That'll turn it off.

If you want to remove the extra account, you can also do that using the same steps (just click the "remove" button).

And finally, if you want to go back to Windows 8.1, get the Windows 8.1 install files

here.

PS. You cannot ever delete the account with the actual name of "administrator" or you will ruin your computer.

 

Auto login and pictures at login

Hi,



Thanks for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Though you have enabled auto login and there is no lock screen, you should still be able to see the user account picture on the Welcome screen and the same picture (set as user account picture) can be set as the login page background.



To set the custom picture as the login screen background, please follow the steps given below.

• Go to Settings->Personalization->Lock screen.
  
• Click on the dropdown list under Background and select
  Picture.
  
• Click on the Browse button under
  Choose your picture.
  
• Browse to the location where the picture is saved and select the desired picture.
  
• Similarly, to set the same image as the user account picture, open the Settings app.
  
• Go to Accounts->Your info->Browse for one.
  
• Browse to the location where the image is saved and select it to set it as the user account picture.
  

Since you’re on the Enterprise edition of Windows 10, we do have a dedicated support forum for Enterprise versions of Windows, Windows servers and systems which are part of any domain or corporate environment. I suggest to post your query in Microsoft
TechNet forums for further help and information about
this issue.

Stop auto login to last user

Windows 8: how to stop auto login

But for Windows 10. I have my own password protected user account, but my wife doesn't have a password on her's. So whenever I turn on the computer when she was the last one to use it, it automatically boots straight into her account, requiring me to sign out and then sign in with my account. This wasn't a problem with Windows 7 (that I just upgraded from), so is there a reliable way to stop Windows 10 from doing this? It's very annoying.

Edit: for the regular home edition of Windows 10. The accepted answer for the proposed dupe is for pro and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that you don't have group policies on the home edition. The other answer basically amounts to forcing all users to have passwords, which I'd prefer not to do.
