    Setting up login is Confusing?


    I'm just moved from Windows 7 to 10 so I'm still trying to sort out all the changes (did the Upgrade option of not saving anything). I just can't figure out this login thing though. We have two User Accounts on my desktop PC and the way we had it on Windows 7 was that once you rebooted it gave you the option of either account... no login was required so very simple.

    So setting up Windows 10 it gave me my User account and then I went to "Family & other Users" and set up my wife as an additional Admin User. Is there anyway to have it like it was with Windows 7 with no login for either User?

    As a compromise I tried running the netplwiz and experimented with that but I can't seem to set it like I want. If I leave it checked so each user has to login I suppose that would work since I also set a Pin for mine which isn't too bad I guess. So if I could set a Pin for the other User account I could live with it but I don't see an option to do so?

    :)

    Problems setting up Fingerprint or PIN login

    Hello,

    I just reïnstalled Windows 10 on my laptop, twice now and both times I cannot seem to add a fingerprint login. This is not because the driver doesn't work or the fingerprint module doesn't work but at the end when a PIN needs to be set it just exists and does
    not setup the fingerprint.

    Also when trying to add a PIN seperately is does not work. It shows a blue "working on it" circle after entering a PIN but it does not setup a PIN.

    I use Windows 10 Pro N build 14393.693
