Hyper-V Virtual Machine Won't Boot Automatically

Question

I have a Virtual Machine - Hyper-V under my Windows 10 box. 

Everytime the box boots, it asks for a password.

I've used netplwiz to uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"

I've edited the registry to contain the DefaultUserName, DefaultDomainName, and DefaultPassword

I have, in the past, gotten it to the point where it does NOT ask for a password, but it STILL requires interaction because it wants you to click "SIGN-IN"

I don't want to have to do anything.  I want the Virtual Machine to launch when I set it to Launch (which also didn't work, but that's another issue) and then just boot into the OS and run whatever is scheduled to run.

There is a password on the main box.

There is NO microsoft account on the virtual box.

Hi Ashton,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that the Virtual Machine is not booting automatically.

As you have mentioned that you have changed the registry settings and account settings for the virtual machine, but the issue persist, in this case I would suggest you to post your query on TechNet forums, as they provide dedicated support for issues related to Virtual Machines on Hyper-V.
