Hello im running windows 10 LTSC version 1809.

I have two users on that are a normal user here i have made an autologin through netplwiz.
And it works until i login as administrator account the the autologin stops working for my normal user.

Tried add DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword in regedit and i works until i login as a administrator.
What i can see AutoAdminLogon resets to 0 after adminstrator login.

So i probably need to change something in gpedit but dont know what.

    There's ForceAutoLogon but beware.

    Hello, thank you for your answer.

    I tried the windows autologon program I only worked one time the same result AutoAdminLogon resets to 0.

    I did not try the ForceAutoLogon because the computer is not centrally managed its stand alone installation.

    I did a reset off group policy via cmd. After that, the autologin worked. I enabled all my policies through gpedit and after that, I works.

    RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers" && RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"  
    

    So something in group policy that did a reset of AutoAdminLogon but I don’t know what.

    The problem was the following.

    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\MSS (Legacy)\MSS: (AutoAdminLogon) Enable Automatic Logon

    This need to be changed to Enable.
