Copilot , with respect to the USER ACCOUNT my Username is stated as angel1957NBH@outlook.com and the Group is stated as Administrators,Users and the “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.” has already been UNCHECK and sorry to say this after following your steps and doing what you suggested , my Windows 10 laptop still require me to key in the password and face a login prompt ! Copilot , is there anything else that i could try in order to implement this feature fruitful ? THANKS for the answer Copilot.

Your Windows 10 laptop is still asking for a password because Microsoft enforces Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts by default. To fix this, you need to disable the Windows Hello requirement or use Microsoft’s Autologon tool.

🔧 Fixing Auto-Login in Windows 10

1. Turn Off Windows Hello Requirement

• Open Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options.
• Find the toggle “Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts” and set it to Off.
• Restart your laptop and re-check netplwiz. This option often blocks auto-login even if you unchecked the password box. Winhelponline The Geek Page

2. Registry Method (Advanced)

If the toggle is missing:

1. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device
   

3. Look for DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion.
   • Set its value to 0 (instead of 2).
   • Close Registry Editor and restart.
4. Now the auto-login checkbox in netplwiz should work properly. Winhelponline The Geek Page

3. Use Microsoft Autologon Utility

If the above doesn’t work, use Microsoft’s official Autologon tool (part of Sysinternals suite):

• Download from Microsoft Sysinternals.
• Run autologon.exe.
• Enter your username (angel1957NBH@outlook.com) and password once.
• Enable Autologon.
• From now on, Windows will log you in automatically without showing the password prompt. Winhelponline

⚠️ Important Considerations

• Security risk: Anyone with physical access to your laptop can log in without a password.
• Encryption impact: If you use BitLocker or other disk encryption, auto-login may reduce its effectiveness.
• Microsoft account sync: Disabling Windows Hello may affect syncing features tied to your Outlook account.
