Windows 10: Password log in not needed how do i remove

I want to remove all forms of log in passwords/pins from my home PC. Its my home PC and such security is overkill to say the least.

I have changed the "require password on log in" box to never, and I have unticked the relevant box in netplwiz. What else should I be doing? This is far more complicated than it needs to be.
