Windows 10: Windows 10 1803 Unattend Autologon help

Hi,

I have been working on a "Windows 10 1803 Ent" base image that will automatically login with the built-in administrator or a local admin account. I have added the component to the unattend file <AutoLogon> as well as the Administrator Password and enabled the built-in admin account via a <RunSynchronousCommand> component.

After sysprepping, I am able to login by entering the password I provided in the unattend file. Any insight into what I may be missing to get it to login by itself. I have tweaked the hell out of this unattend file, trial by fire, and no luck, although I have learned a great deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the unattend file I am using:

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Autologon user doesn't exist!

Hi Elvis,

This issue might have been caused by a software conflict, or a malware or virus. For us to isolate the issue, we would like to gather more information:

• Does your account and administrator account are different user accounts?
• Have you successfully uninstalled the application?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a system restore. Follow the steps given under Restore from a system restore point in this article:

Recovery options in Windows 10.

We will wait for your response.
