    Windows 11 - Disable auto login


    Hi,How do we disable the feature that makes windows 11 automatically log into the previous account on restart.90% of the computers in our office are Windows 10. When we hit restart on these machines they reboot and go straight back to the login screen with all the accounts to choose from. This is perfect.The few systems we've updated to Windows 11 though don't do that. If you restart the computer it logs straight back into the last account that was being used and goes to the lock screen instead of the login screen. That leaves us stuck in a profile/account we don't have a password for and we'r

    :)

    How do I disable auto-login on W10


    Method two, step five: if it shows you how to enable auto login, then you also know how to disable it. This might help you but you gotta read. Sometimes, a guide that shows the opposite of what you want can still help you.

  3. Turn off auto-login?

    To stop the automatic log-in, please follow the
    auto-login to windows steps listed here
    , except when you get to the point to automatically login, check the box instead. That'll turn it off.

    If you want to remove the extra account, you can also do that using the same steps (just click the "remove" button).

    And finally, if you want to go back to Windows 8.1, get the Windows 8.1 install files

    here
    .

    PS. You cannot ever delete the account with the actual name of "administrator" or you will ruin your computer.

    Windows 11 Auto login

    Hello,

    I have a question regarding the auto login options.

    With the new windows 11, is there a way on how to setup some auto login management in cloud? Some Azure AD options?
    So far as I searched the internet, everyone is guiding me to do the "local" auto login management -> create a user account and modify it in active directory. However, I have a feeling it would be much bigger fun having all these settings done in Azure AD or some cloud services. Maybe there are some future plans from Microsoft to implement some new software in cloud which would help companies with auto login management?
    I'm looking forward to any idea on how to manage it better.

    Thank you in advance Windows 11 - Disable auto login :)
