Staff Disable Windows Password Login (Auto Login Setup in Windows 10 / 11)

[Luckyy]

Want your PC to boot straight to the desktop without entering your password every time? Here's how to enable automatic login for your local or Microsoft account.

Method 1: Use the netplwiz Tool​

1. Press Win + R, type netplwiz, then press Enter
2. In the User Accounts window, select your user name
3. Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
4. Click Apply
5. A window will pop up asking for your password — enter it and confirm
6. Click OK to save the settings

Next time you restart, Windows will automatically log in without prompting for a password.

Method 2: Use the Registry Editor (For More Control)​

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, press Enter
2. Navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

3. Double-click the following values and modify them:

• AutoAdminLogon → Set value to 1
• DefaultUserName → Set to your Windows username
• DefaultPassword → Set to your account password (create this string if it doesn't exist)
• DefaultDomainName → Set to your PC name or leave blank for local accounts

4. Close the Registry Editor and reboot

To Revert and Re-enable Login Prompt​

Go back to netplwiz and re-check the box
Or set AutoAdminLogon to 0 in the registry

Important Notes​

• This works for both local and Microsoft accounts
• Auto login skips lock screen but is less secure
• For public/shared PCs, it’s not recommended
• Password will still be required after sleep/lock unless changed in settings

Optional: Disable Lock on Wake​

1. Open Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options
2. Under "If you've been away", set it to Never require sign-in

That’s it! Your PC will now log in automatically every time you restart or power it on.
