  1. Why does Windows ask twice for password?


    For glarification, I mean the power-on password. When I start my computer, this screen shows up, then I type my password and press enter, then it shows the startup screen, then the screen shuts down for a second and then it puts me back on this screen again. How can I get rid of this whole thing? I don't need it to ask for password three times since there is also the user password I have to type in.

    :)

    No login password craziness

    Brink, that was the missing step. What threw me off was in netplwiz, where it asks about password for my MS account, the user name was not the same as my MS account name. Once I entered the password (twice) I can now login without entering a password. In fact the name that was listed was not the MS account name, but a folder name. The folder is the one that shows when you click on C:\Users.
    Thanks for the help.

    Windows 10 - Login twice every time

    Hello,

    User profile corruption is one of the possible reasons why you are being asked to sign in twice on your computer. To troubleshoot the issue, we suggest creating a new user account and see if the same issue will occur on a different user profile. To do this,
    simply follow the steps below:


    • Select the Start button, then select Settings
      > Accounts > Family & other people > Add someone else to this PC.

    • Type a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    Should you have further questions, please let us know.
