How To Automatically Login In Windows 10
Want to quickly boot to your Windows 10 desktop by skipping the login
screen?
Would you like to avoid typing your account password each time you turn on
your PC?
You can configure Windows 10 to automatically boot to the desktop or Start
screen.
The core benefit of configuring Windows 10 to automatically sign-in is you
don’t need to remember the password, which also means that you save a couple
of seconds during the boot. This, in turn, means that Windows 10 boots to
the
Start screen or desktop a couple of seconds faster.
The procedure to set up automatic logon in Windows 10 is very similar to the
one in Windows 7 and Windows 8.
This method is applicable to both local user account and Microsoft account.
In other words, whether you’re using a Microsoft account or local user
account, you can use this guide to enable automatic logon.
WARNING: Enable automatic logon only if you are the sole user of your
computer. If you often share your computer with others, others will be able
to peek into your account without knowing the password.
You can follow one of the methods given below to turn on automatic login in
Windows 10.
Method 1 of 2
Automatically logon without password
This is the easiest way to automatically login to Windows 10 without
entering
the password.
Step 1: First step is to open Run command box by simultaneously pressing
Windows logo and R keys (Windows+R). In the Run dialog box, type Netplwiz
and
then press Enter key.
Step 2: In the resulting User Accounts dialog, select your user account
first
and then uncheck the option labelled Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer. Click Apply button to see Automatically sign
in box.
Step 3: In the Automatically sign in dialog, type your password and then
re-enter the password to confirm the same.
Finally, click OK button.
Method 2 of 2
Turn on automatic sign-in using Registry
If, for some reason, you’re not able to configure Windows 10 to
automatically
logon by following the above method, please use this method.
Step 1: Open Registry Editor. To do so, type Regedit in the Start menu
search
box or Run command box and then press Enter key. Click Yes button when you
see the UAC (User Account Control) box.
Step 2: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Step 3: On the right-side, look for the entry named DefaultUserName,
double-click on it and make sure that your Microsoft account or local user
account name is appearing under Value data box.
Step 4: Next, on the right-side again, look for the entry named
DefaultPassword. If the entry doesn’t exist, please create one by
right-clicking on the empty space, clicking New and then clicking String
Value. Rename it to DefaultPassword and enter your password in the Value
data
box. Click OK button.
Step 5: Finally, you need to enable automatic logon. To do so, on the
right-side (once again), look for the entry labelled AutoAdminLogon and then
change its value from 0 (zero) to 1 (one).
That’s it! Restart your PC to see your Windows 10 automatically logging into
your account without asking you to enter the password. Good luck!
Without a doubt, the second method is not as easy as the first one.
Have fun with Windows 10!

screen after Windows 10 updates
I don't have an answer for you regarding the problem, other than to echo
someone else's comment that a recent JAWS 18 update supposedly addresses
this issue.
I can offer a work-around, however. You can configure Windows 10 to
automatically log into a specified default user account. This bypasses
the login screen and JAWS comes up talking. I don't recall the steps to
accomplish this, but if it's an alternative you want to consider, Let us
know and I'm sure someone can find the info for you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Recurring problem: JAWS not speaking at logon screen
after Windows 10 updates
Hello Everyone,
I'm using Windows 10 with JAWS version 17.0.2729.
I'm seeking input regarding a recurring problem that I'm experiencing when
Windows 10 updates have taken place.
Whenever there has been a Windows 10 update, JAWS does not speak at the
logon screen. I cannot tell when the logon screen appears and when it is
ready to receive my Windows password. I cannot tell if anything is
happening if I do enter something and try to TAB to the OK button.
Needless to say, this makes logging on to my PC impossible at these times
without sighted assistance.
My husband who is sighted has helped me deal wit this. We have called the
Microsoft Accessible Help line. They said that somehow JAWS gets
corrupted
when there are Windows 10 updates, and that we should uninstall and
reinstall JAWS making sure to set JAWS to speak at the logon screen.
Doing those things solves the problem until another Windows 10 update
occurs. There was a Windows 10 update recently. We will need to go
through
the process of uninstalling and reinstalling JAWS for the thirdtime.
I'm wondering if others among you have experienced these difficulties.
I'm
also wondering if there is a newer version of JAWS that does not have this
problem with Windows 10 updates. I've read of so many problems with JAWS
2018 that I'm hesitant to upgrade to it at this point.
I don't know how someone without sighted assistance would deal with the
frustrations that Ihave described. Repeatedly waiting around for sighted
help to fix a recurring problem such as this shouldn't be acceptable.
As a comment, I want to also say that I'm finding the discussion of screen
readers and web browsers interesting. I admit that having to become
skilled
using different screen readers and web browsers, and to keep assessing
which
screen reader/web browser combination works with various websites is very
discouraging. I use Internet Explorer. Even the NY Times is crashing
more
now than it did previously. I usually get done what I need to but I admit
that I'm definitely less technically adept than many of you.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Christine Murphy
