    Disable sign in at start up

    I am trying to disable require password at sign in for windows 10. I have already went into settings and selected to never require login. The 2nd step I believe is to go into user accounts screen. On this screen all buttons - Add, Remove, Properties and Reset Password are all greyed out therefore I am unable to make any changes. Any suggestions on what next to do are much appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum, citydweller.

    To completely disable the need for passwords on initial sign in:

    Press Win + R

    Type in netplwiz

    Deselect the box: β€œUsers must enter a user name and password to use this computer.”

    On hitting β€œApply” it will prompt you for an account to use and a password, enter your username and password.

    This should net you the results you want.

    If you have multiple user accounts you may not need to select the default account.

    It should be noted that making the default account (the administrator account) automatically login is not the best practice for safety, if you are okay with this then go for it.
