Windows boot automatically to desktop

Question

Under the AD domain account management, I need to set up windows to automatically enter the desktop on boot, and I can't bypass the account password to enter the desktop directly by checking all kinds of information. Some information shows that the following option will appear, but the actual operation is not, after changing the registry and policy and reboot there is still no such option. Therefore, I hope to get an effective method. Also, I would like to ask if it is not working because it is operating under the ad domain account, do I need to operate under administrator to make it work?

Screenshot posted, also wanted to confirm, is it related to the domain administrator account?

Answer 1

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box, then type netplwiz and press Enter.

In the User Accounts window, select your domain user account.

Uncheck the box that says, "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer."

Click Apply. A new dialog box will appear, asking you to enter the username and password for the selected account.

Enter the domain account's credentials and click OK

Answer 2

Hello

According to the screenshot, I noticed it seems you are using a Microsoft Account. The Microsoft account may not work with autologon.

Anyway, we could try the following tool to setup autologon.

Autologon - Sysinternals | Microsoft Learn

Try to setup with a local account. It will help us to narrow down whether the issue is related to domain account. Or try to remove the machine from the domain temporarily to narrow down whether the issue is related to the domain policies.
