For those of you who want to automaticlly login to windows 10, the following
article will be of interest. I did it and it works great.
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!

Hi Robin,
If you contact the Window-Eyes support team and provide your serial number,
they can help you get access to a full installer for Window-Eyes 9.5.1. The
keyboard shortcut to launch Narrator in Windows 10 is Windows Key+Enter.
Yes, you can configure Windows 10 to not require a Microsoft account and
instead use a local account for logging in. Here is an article with more
information on how to accomplish this task:

Best,
Marc

Subject: getting my new PC set up
I started up my new Windows 10 laptop last night for the first time. I have
a couple questions, more out of curiosity, since I was able to get my
sighted husband to read the screen to me.
* When I started the PC, it ran through a set of questions to set up
the PC. Should I have been able to use Narrator to read these had my
husband not been there?
* Once I got the Win 10 desktop, I launched Narrator. Seems like it
took a few tries with Windows N, but it did start. That helped me navigate
the menus, but if I get a dialog box, such as an installation dialog, I
cannot figure out how to get Narrator to read the whole dialog so I know
what the buttons mean. Any idea? I need to get Outlook set up so that I
can get my email from AI Squared with the link to the latest WE version.
Turns out the most recent Window Eyes disk I have is 9.0 and I'm getting an
error when I try to load it, so it must not be compatible with my Windows
10. I'm in a bit of a snag here with not having a Window Eyes CD.
* During the set up process, I was asked for my Microsoft account
information. Since I have an MSN email address, I tried that information
and it worked. I guess that's fine. I figure it's nice to have a password
aligned between email, the store and the cloud storage, should I use it.
But my normally don't put a password on my laptop because it doesn't leave
the house. Should I be able to go into Win 10 settings somewhere and turn
this off or change the password to something easier just for logging into my
computer? I want a strong password for my email, but not for logging into
Windows at home. I like to be able to flip my computer on and either have
it go straight to the desktop or quickly move back the log in screen.
Now here's hoping all goes smoothly with learning Windows 10 and getting my
desktop set up.
