    There is a nonexistent account at signin that windows tries auto-logging into, and failing...


    Every time I start windows, it tries logging into this non-existent local account. Picture 1This account does not exist, and never existed prior to the latest update, and it also still does NOT exist, only at the login screen. So every single time I start my computer now, I have to click OK, then click my actual account Picture 2 - The top account with purple is the real accountInside "User Accounts", there is only 1 account Picture 3, so the account doesn't actually exist. It only exists as an annoyance to prevent me from automatically logging into windows when my computer starts, si

    How-to enable auto log-on in Windows 7?

    I need the computer to boot and then automatically log into Windows 7.

    The account would automatically log into a standard account (non-admin) with no password.

    However, I also have another account in that same computer (which is an admin account).

    If I was to enable auto log-on into this computer, how would I be able to log into the administrator account that I have later if it skips the log-in screen?

    Auto logging into disabled account Windows 10

    I was able to fix this by doing the following:

    • Boot up the computer, then kill the power after startup is complete.
    • Do step #1 again. (Two crashes within two minutes after startup will cause Windows to boot into Safe Mode automatically.)
    • You will be forcibly logged in to Safe Mode with the Administrator account.
    • Enable the Administrator account, and setup your normal account as needed.
    • Restart again, you will auto login as the Administrator account (which has now been enabled).
    • Log out of the Admin account, and log in with the normal account.
    • Disable the default Administrator account once again.

    'signin with local account' not working

    Tried those. Did not work. Did some more checking. CMD(admin) window net user shows all the user accounts. LUSMGR.msc there are no users listed. Not sure if this is part of my problem. Also, found reference to ntrights. Will see if that might help with specific user (mine) that I cannot change to local signin.
