Windows 10: Using Netplwiz on my new computer

Windows 10 ver 20H2 Build 1904.1052 On a new HP Pavillion 27 AIO, I am trying to use NetPlWiz to bypass the Sign in Screen. When I execute the command I get a window that does not contain the checkbox for ' Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.' Such a thing has always been there on a previous builds. How can I go about eliminating the sign in action in this case. Thank you very much.
