Windows 10: Why Does Win10 Log Me In After Restart?

I have a fairly new 2 months Dell XPS 8930. I created 2 user accounts.


If I use Start...User...Sign Out on either account, everything goes as expected and I am taken back to the Sign-In screen. If I then use the Power button in the lower right and choose Restart, the system restarts and then immediately signs in to whichever account had just signed-out.


Neither account has a password assigned, so the system simply presents the "Welcome" message and signs the account back in, presented the user's desktop.


There is no user set to "automatically log in after restart" via the control userpassword2 option. Besides, as I mentioned before, it happens with whichever user signed out last before the restart. Just to be sure that it wasn't related to that option, I toggled that switch to Off but it didn't make any difference.


If I want to leave the computer at the sign-in screen after a restart, I have to sign the user out again.


Is there any way to eliminate this annoying issue?


Thanks for any assistance that you can offer.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
