    I had enough of signing into my own computer and laptop when trying to go to my emails. Please stop this I can't stand it anymore. It's a big slowdown and interference. I don't need all the security for this.

    I too have the same problem. I am using Version 23H2 OS Build 22631.2861.
    When I follow the advice given by John Dev I do not see the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" check box.
    Does anyone have any other advice on this.

    Hello,

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows key + R, type netplwiz and click OK.
    2. In User Accounts dialog box, uncheck the box next to 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'. Then click OK button.
    3. To ensure the operation is authorized, you are required to enter and confirm your password. Enter Password and Confirm Password, then click OK button.
    4. Restart your PC then you can log in without using a password.
