Some users find it to be an aggravation to type in their password every time Windows starts. As with previous versions of Windows, you can set it to auto-login a specific user.
Please note: This is not recommended, as it makes the computer less secure and anyone can just turn on your computer and begin messing around with your files. But if you’re the only one that uses the computer and not too concerned about it, its a time saver on start up.
Here’s how to do it:
- Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to launch the “Run” dialog box.
- Type in
control userpasswords2- Press Enter. The User Accounts window will display.
- Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
- Click “OK”
- You will then be prompted to enter the current password and confirm it.
- After doing so, you will no longer be prompted to enter your password upon login.
Use at your own risk.
