Windows 10: Logon password issue after upgrade to 1903

Hi,


Finally got around upgrading my stand-alone W10 PRO box to build 1903.

Upgrade went smoothly, as I expected.

However......

After the upgrade I'm allowed to login ONE TIME using my password that I've been using eversince the inception of Windows 7 (and even before that!).

Once I've logged out of my machine and want to login again I am FORCED to change the password in order to login again.
Incidentally, this all happens WITHOUT any network connectivity to the internet, so it is not enforced/checked against something at Microsoft.

Therefor it MUST be something introduced with the new build software.

And also it will not accept the 'old' password and moreover I'm FORCED to meet complexity requirements etc.


My Account Policies, Password Policy settings (GPEDIT) are ALL effectively set to 'Not Applicable', that is to say:

Policy Security Setting

Enforce password history 0 passwords remembered

Maximum password age 0

Minimum password age 0 days

Minimum password length 0 characters

Password must meet complexity requirements Disabled

Store passwords using reversible encryption Disabled

My Account Policies, Account Lockout Policy settings read:

Policy Security Setting

Account lockout duration Not Applicable

Account lockout threshold 0 invalid logon attempts

Reset account lockout counter after Not Applicable


It almost looks like these settings are no longer relevant in some way, OR there is some new (hidden?) functionality introduced causing this.


What is going on, causing this and more importantly how to remediate this stupid behavior.


No referrals to articles explaining me how to reset a password, because those don't help. (Tried them already)

Incidentally, the password reset disk option (created with build 1803 (!) does not work either.
"Error has occurred".
So much for that too.


Thanks for your insights.

Local profile issue after upgrading to 1903

Hi roblinb

Not listed in the Known.

Known issues for Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903


As far as Wifi any chance it is Qualcom inside USB adapter, if Qualcom then yes known issue.


I might create another user (Local) and when if try again see if this issue occurs on both users.

Would also suggest you run the first 5 steps in this tutorial to see if you have any corruption with current build.

unable to remove windows logon password


unable to remove windows logon password

went to control panel user accounts and there is no longer a ' remove password ' option as with windows 7

i changed the settings to ' not require a password on logon' but made no difference at all

it now boots saying password wrong, until I enter a password then all ok...

MS suggest adding a new account and logging in with that without a password then deleting the old one.....

does not not work as the add account is greyed out.

cant see why this is so difficult..

as as a side issue since trying to remove the windows logon password I am now presented on boot up with an OS choice wi cows 10 or 7.... I am certain this wasn't there before..

any my help would be appreciated
thanks

 

Mapped network drives do not connect at logon in vista with automatic logon enabled

I have vista x64 . I have some mapped network drives . They get connected when i enter the password at logon screen. Now i enabled automatic logon in vista and they do not connect anymore . I have to double click on them and enter the password manually .

Windows displays the message "Could not connect to all drives" at logon .

They used to connect automatically in xo with automatic logon enabled.

My logon password is the same as the administrator password with which i can connect to these drives .
