Windows 10: Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup

Have already tried that, but just did again.....strangely enough when the pc starts and the 2nd user screen is displayed it doesn't request a password until I click the screen...and still no option for myself to sign in

 

Usually the first screen you see that you have to click on before seeing the sign-in screen is the lock screen. Is this what you are seeing?

If your account is available on the sign-in screen, it would be listed at the bottom left to click/tap on to then be able to sign-in to.

I now have the 2nd user sign in automatically without a password....but when I click on the symbol to sign in and me, there is NO option........

if if I press ctrl alt del then select switch user, the only option is the 2nd user.....

any ideas ? Please

 

Double check to make sure that you have a password added for your account.

Just to verify, your account is not listed at the bottom left corner on the sign-in screen like below?

 

It's not showing on the bottom left....I am still asked for my password when making admin changes, even though I can't sign in

i created a new user account test as admin and this doesn't show up either

 

Odd. Let's see what it shows for you account details using the tutorial below to see if the accounts are listed.

This is what i got


UserAccountDetails.txt

 

I see a "Dad", "Ryan", and "test" account that should be listed, and a "reddw" account as degraded.

It looks like your "reddw" may be disabled. Check using the tutorial below to make sure it is enabled.

The reddw was meant to be deleted.....not needed

 

In that case, you could use the method below to delete the "reddw" account to remove it if you have another administrator account to use. Don't delete your "reddw" account if you don't.

Are the other "Dad", "Ryan", and "test" accounts listed in netplwiz?

If able, post a screenshot to show your sign-in screen.

 

the reddw account is not listed in any of your options.....also deleted test.....screenshot of netplwiz

 

From your screenshot, you should have the "Dad" and "Ryan" account available to sign-in to. I don't see any reason so far for why you only have the "Ryan" account available.

One last thing to look at is to see if the "Dad" account's SID key ("S-1-5-21...1104") is listed in the registry key below like the screenshot below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

 

Looks ok ????





The signin option does not show dad

 

Let's change the State DWORD value for the "S-1-5-21...1104" SID key to 0 (zero), and sign out or restart computer to see if the "Dad" account may be available afterwards.

 

Done that, made no difference......
