I was told (by MS support) that the presence of Norton, and other anti virus programs, prevented some of Windows 10 features from being installed properly. Before upgrading to Windows 10, I chose to remove the third party anti virus program. I thought I would rely on the Windows firewall and Defender. I also thought that requiring a log on password would provide added security. Now I want to log on without the password prompt. I can’t find a way to stop this feature. Going through settings, all that I seem to be able to do is change the password or add a new user account. I haven’t done this, but I assume that If I add a new account, I probably will start out with a blank desktop. I want to avoid going through the setup process that I already did. Is there a way to remove the requirement to sign on to Windows 10, without the password prompt? Thanks, Peter T.
