How to configure auto login

Windows

Enable Auto Login

1. To open the Run dialog box, simply press Win+R on your keyboard.
2. If you are prompted to enter a command in the Run dialog box, type netplwiz and then click OK.
   
3. You will then be asked to choose the user who should receive the autologin. It is recommended that you choose a user who has the privilege of being the power user. It is not a good idea to use an administrator account for this.
4. If the option Users must enter a user name and password when attempting to access the computer is checked, you can uncheck it by clicking OK.
   You will need to enter your user name and password to access this computer if the option Users must enter their username and password is not visible.:
5. 1. • Select the Setting menu item.
      • Select Accounts from the list.
      • Choose the login method you wish to use.
      • In the section titled Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts, toggle the switch to “Off”.
        • After you disable this checkbox, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password to access this computer each time you run netplwiz after disabling the option.
6. After you have entered your username and password, you need to click the “OK” button. Windows does not verify the accuracy of the auto login password you entered when you attempt to log in automatically. Make sure your credentials are correct before you proceed.
