  1. Why does my computer log itself in?


    I have my Windows 10 machine set to require my PIN to log in. Every so often, I'll power it on and it will go through the typical boot up sequence until it gets to the log in screen and it will go straight to my desktop with literally zero user input. Why would this be?

    :)
