    The options in the tutorial I posted above are the same in Windows 10.

    Two things - One for some reason my Windows 10 required me to change my password after 40+ days. Two I cannot find Local Users and Group Manager in Win 10. Sorry three what is an Elevated command prompt? I did Windows button + R and typed cmd is that correct?

    You must have Windows 10 Home edition installed then. Local Security Policy is not included in that edition.

    Are you joined to a domain?

    The tutorial below can help show you how to open an elevated command prompt in Windows 10.

    I would recommend to use the command below from step 4 in OPTION TWO of the tutorial I posted earlier. *Smile

    I do have Windows home edition. While logged in as an administrator I opened the elevated command prompt and entered the command above receiving a response that all user passwords will not expire.

    What is the next level of Win 10 and is there a cost?

    Thanks

    You're most welcome. *Smile

    The next edition level would be Windows 10 Pro. You could directly upgrade to Pro using the method in the tutorial below without losing anything, but it does cost about $100 to purchase Pro from Microsoft during the process.

    Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro

    Here's a feature comparison between Windows 10 editions to help.
