    windows 10 password turned itself back on


    I had disabled password entry when starting my laptop. For over a week, the laptop could be used without a password. Today, it suddenly started requiring a password again upon starting. None of my old passwords worked and it had to be reset. It is being used by family so is not currently with me. I need to allow my family to use it without having to give away my password. How can I disable password sign-in and have it stay? Is there a way to do this remotely?

    :)

    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
