    Windows 10 Home need help with Skip Login screen (netplwiz and gpedit do not work)


    New computer, can't bypass the login screen. Used netplwiz to uncheck box and gpedit to Enable "Do Not Display Welcome screen". Any ideas as to why this may not be working, or more importantly what I can do to rectify. Thanks!

    :)

    netplwiz is frozen in Windows 10

    Who set up the PC? Is it a factory install which came with both Administrator and Home User accounts? If the only account showing up in Account Settings (check under My Info and Family and other Accounts) is Home User then it may merely have unhidden the
    built-in Admin account which is normally hidden. To check this use the hide command in:

    Enable or Disable Elevated Administrator account in Windows 10

    If this doesn't remove the Admin account then scour again all the Accounts setting pages to see if you see its listing.

    In order to get netplwiz to work to hide the Log-in screen, it may require elevating the Home User account to Admin level.

    Skipping Windows Welcome Screen.

    When I initially installed Windows, it used to skip the welcome screen and login. Now after many updates, drivers, etc... it goes to welcome screen. I have no password and only one account. This is for my HTPC, and I really want to right away load MCE, but this thing is the only hitch I have. I looked through user's in control panel, but there is no option to skip. How do you skip the Welcome Screen?
