Windows 10: Windows 10 Login and Logout automatically

Hi, I imported some keys in the registry (Windows 10 regedit) and after that, as soon as my user logsin, it logsout without displaying the desktop. It goes back to the login screen again ...


In safe mode it logins Ok.


Any way to revert changes o check the registry or debug what is going on?


Thanks very much

Unable to logout and login on Windows 10 user accounts.

The question and their answers are as follows:

• many user accounts do you have on the computer?
  
  Two accounts: One main account and one guest account
• Do you not find the options to login and logout of all the user accounts?
  
  No
• Are you facing the above issue since upgrading to Windows 10?
  
  I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 preloaded
• Which is the current build running on the computer?
  
  I do not know how to get this information. I am running Windows 10 Home edition and the latest version is installed, The last info I see for automatic update is:
  Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3172985)
  
  I am a novice user!
  
  Thanks

[Tip] Automatic Login to Windows and Instantly lock the computer.

Problem: You like to leave XYZ program running 24/7, but XYZ program only starts when you log into the computer(XYZ can be whatever program you want). So when automatic updates hit and auto-restart your computer, the XYZ program doesn't start back up. You could not put a password on your user account, so the computer automatically logs onto your user account when it reboots, but that is insecure, and if you have nosy roommates/children/super intelligent monkeys, if there is no password they might get on your computer and find your huge collection of por...legally obtained songs...



Solution: Set Windows to automatically log into a password protected user account, and then instantly lock the computer.*Rockout :rockout: Here's how:

• I'm going to assume you already have your user account password protected. If not, setup a password for your user account now...I'll wait...ok, moving on.
• In the Run dialog type "control userpasswords2" without quotes. Then press OK.
  
  
  
• In the User Accounts window uncheck the box for "Users must enter a password to use this computer." Press OK.
  
  
  
• In the Automatically Log On window enter your username and password. Press OK.
  
  
  
• Open Notepad and type "rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkstation" without quotes.
  
  
  
• Save the text document as lock.bat. Make sure you change Save as type: from *.txt to *.*!
  
  
  
• Drag lock.bat into your Startup folder.
  
  
  

That is it. Now when the computer is rebooted it will automatically log in to your account, load any programs you want started, and lock the computer so a password is still required to use it.*Toast :toast:

A few notes:

• If you change the password for your user account, it will break the auto login. You will have to go back into control userpasswords2 and re-enter your login information.
• This should work with any recent version of Windows, I've tested it back to at least XP. You shouldn't be using anything older than that anyway.
• I've tested this with Win7 and Vista Home Premium and up. It should work on Home Basic and Starter as well, and it should work on XP Home, but I haven't tested this personally. The lower versions of Windows might not have the Control Userpasswords2 ability.
• This works with Server versions of Windows also.
