    Security Disclaimer:

    Enabling automatic sign-in bypasses the Windows login screen, allowing anyone who has physical access to this computer to view its contents without authentication.

Users are liable for any data loss, privacy violation, or unauthorized access that results from this setting.

    To set up automatic logon in Windows 11 Pro, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Registry Editor:
      • Click on Start, type Regedit, and press Enter.
    2. Navigate to the Registry Key:
      • Go to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    3. Set Default User Name:
      • Double-click on the DefaultUserName entry and enter your user name.
    4. Set Default Password:
      • Double-click on the DefaultPassword entry and enter your password. If this entry does not exist, create it:
        • Click Edit, then New, and select String Value.
        • Name it DefaultPassword and enter your password as the value.
    5. Enable AutoAdminLogon:
      • Change the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 0 (FALSE) to 1 (TRUE).
    6. Exit Registry Editor and reboot your computer to test if it logs in automatically.

    Important Security Note: The password is stored in plain text in the registry, which can be a security risk. This setup is recommended only for computers that are physically secured and not accessible to untrusted users.
