Windows 10: Win10 auto login with account with no passwords.

Did this ever get fixed or a way to disable it? Just upgraded my parents laptop from Win7 to Win10, they both have an account with no password. But if it's restarted or shut down, it auto logs in the last user. I saw lots of post about it but they were all from like 2016. Nothing recent. It's on the latest version from November. Anyone know a fix for it?

How to auto login windows 10 if i use Microsoft account?

I didn't solve this by your suggestion. However, i reinstalled windows10, and log in with Microsoft account from start. Then netplwiz works well.

I found a interesting phenomenon. After unchecking the box of netplwiz, and type a wrong password, netplwiz will also exit with no error. Does it mean netplwiz only sotres the password i input and use this for logging in?

I have two hypothesises about netplwiz.

1. auto login feature is a kernel feature, netplwiz just call this feature, the password you need to input after unchecking the box is just for authentication of current user.
2. auto login feature is provided at userspace by netplwiz. the password you need to input after unchecking the box is stored somewhere and netplwiz will use this password to log in windows

At first i think first one is correct, but now it seems that second is correct, am i right?

 

How to disable bitlocker auto unlock when my windows account password was changed?

How to prevent auto unlocking drives from my laptop when my windows password changed? Hack or change my account password to much more easy than decrypt disk, but why windows doesn't provide such functionality from the box? I looking for any scripts to auto unlock from powershell also.

I'm not going to "just disable unblock". It's very useful thing. I have too many things which starts from encrypted volume. I want to prevent access to my volume only just getting my account. If my system administrator account could be hacked, all sensitive data would be lost.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Login into your account
   
2. Set up bitlocker, auto-unlock
   
3. Restart PC and login into account
   
4. Drive unlocked
   
5. Logout from account (I switched off whole PC)
   
6. Ask sysadmin to change your password to new one
   
7. Login into your account with new password
   

Expected result: bitlocker drive locked

Actual result: drive unlocked
