Windows 10: Windows 10 is making me sign in on startup even though all options requiring sign in are...

Windows 10 is asking me for my password or pin every time I start my computer. I've already disabled the options for this. For a long time, it wouldn't ask, it would just boot and go directly to my desktop, however, ever since the issue with crowdstrike which I was not personally affected by, Windows is requiring my password when it claims it can't connect or pin.Are there any other places I need to look? Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 10 sign in requirement

Microsoft should make the W10 sign in requirement optional. I can understand the security necessity in an office or other working environment, but there are many situations where this type of security is not an issue and the sign in is just an added inconvenience.
I was able to remove my W10 PIN Sign-in in at Sign in Options under Accounts. However, that created an even greater nuisance by requiring my Microsoft account sign in. I noticed an earlier post has outlined steps to remove the account sign in using netplwiz and some registry mods. Is this the way I should proceed now to get W10 to come from boots and sleep without human intervention ?

As a test, try using step 4 in option 5 to disable require sign-in on wakeup may work for you.

Hello Lee, *Smile

No need to mess with the registry. You can just use netplwiz in option 1 of the tutorial below to have Windows automatically sign in to your account at startup.
