Windows 10 not asking user while startup

Question

I have 2 users on my Windows 10 .Whenever I turn on my laptop, Windows directly logs in into the user which was accessed last time I logged in. I thought it should ask me which user to use during each startup . There are some problens in settings I think. Can somebody tell what I should change in my settings...?

Hello Madhura,

Are both user accounts password protected? If not, then Windows may sometimes automatically sign-in to the account.

If they are both password protected, then double check to make sure that the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box is checked in netplwiz.

In addition, make sure that you turned on to require sign-in on wakeup.
