Windows 10: Two Profiles on Login and trying to login automatically without password on windows 11

I'm trying to make a living room system without a keyboard, so I need to be able to login automatically. Before any troubleshooting steps, I had one account, but two logins on the lock screen. They both were the name of my microsoft account. One of the profiles looked like a microsoft account login with an email and password field, while the other looked like a regular PIN field to access the computer. After following various guides to both convert the computer's account into a local account and uncheck the box in the netplwiz menu, which should allow me to log in without requiring a password.

[Tip] Automatic Login to Windows and Instantly lock the computer.

Problem: You like to leave XYZ program running 24/7, but XYZ program only starts when you log into the computer(XYZ can be whatever program you want). So when automatic updates hit and auto-restart your computer, the XYZ program doesn't start back up. You could not put a password on your user account, so the computer automatically logs onto your user account when it reboots, but that is insecure, and if you have nosy roommates/children/super intelligent monkeys, if there is no password they might get on your computer and find your huge collection of por...legally obtained songs...



Solution: Set Windows to automatically log into a password protected user account, and then instantly lock the computer.*Rockout :rockout: Here's how:

• I'm going to assume you already have your user account password protected. If not, setup a password for your user account now...I'll wait...ok, moving on.
• In the Run dialog type "control userpasswords2" without quotes. Then press OK.
  
  
  
• In the User Accounts window uncheck the box for "Users must enter a password to use this computer." Press OK.
  
  
  
• In the Automatically Log On window enter your username and password. Press OK.
  
  
  
• Open Notepad and type "rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkstation" without quotes.
  
  
  
• Save the text document as lock.bat. Make sure you change Save as type: from *.txt to *.*!
  
  
  
• Drag lock.bat into your Startup folder.
  
  
  

That is it. Now when the computer is rebooted it will automatically log in to your account, load any programs you want started, and lock the computer so a password is still required to use it.*Toast :toast:

A few notes:

• If you change the password for your user account, it will break the auto login. You will have to go back into control userpasswords2 and re-enter your login information.
• This should work with any recent version of Windows, I've tested it back to at least XP. You shouldn't be using anything older than that anyway.
• I've tested this with Win7 and Vista Home Premium and up. It should work on Home Basic and Starter as well, and it should work on XP Home, but I haven't tested this personally. The lower versions of Windows might not have the Control Userpasswords2 ability.
• This works with Server versions of Windows also.

 

Windows 11 Automatic login

You can try removing the duplicate account and keep original. Then set auto login with these steps:

1. Type netplwiz in the search box at the bottom left corner of the desktop. Then click on netplwiz on the pop-up menu.

2. In User Accounts dialog box, uncheck the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'. Then click OK button.

3. To ensure the operation is authorized, you are required to enter and confirm your password. Enter Password and Confirm Password, then click OK button.

4. Restart your PC then you can log in without using a password.

Hope this helps!
