You can do this:

1. Save the script below as AutoLogon.bat. The .bat file extension is essential.
2. Double-click AutoLogon
3. Select I for Install, R for Remove
4. Enter your curren password.

If this solves your problem then please remember to mark my reply by clicking "Did this solve your problem?". It's your way of saying "Thank you".

@echo off

goto Start

Enable or disable AutoLogon on machines where

netplwiz no longer works.

Hi salehAtta

I'm Martin, an Independent Advisor

are you using any windows hello features?

these will need to be removed first. settings -> accounts -> sign-in options

make sure, "require windows hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" is turned off

click on the windows hello feature you have been using (eg PIN) and click the remove button.

do you have a work or school account?

the users must enter a username and password check box in netplwiz will not be available if you are using a work or school account.

To remove the need to enter the password on boot

click start

type netplwiz and press enter

untick "users must enter a username and password..."

click apply

(if it is already unticked, tick the box and click apply then untick it again and click apply)

you will be asked for a username and password (used to automatically log on).

if you are using a Microsoft account enter the FULL email address.

enter and verify your password and click ok

next time you boot the computer it will automatically log on.

NOTE - there is no need to switch to a local account, it WORKS perfectly well with a Microsoft account, as long as you enter the full email address in the username field.

blank passwords are NOT a good idea.

do not forget the password.

to prevent it asking for a password when waking from sleep, go to settings -> accounts -> sign-in options

under "require sign-in" select Never.

hope that helps please let me know if you experience any problems.

Answer 3

Actually ,when I type  netplwiz and press enter

I couldn't find this check box
"users must enter a username and password..."

and i am not using any windows hello features

thanks

Answer 4

do you have a work or school account connected to the device?

check in settings -> accounts -> access work or school

you cannot remove the password requirement if you are connecting to work or school accounts.

you mentioned that you are not using windows hello features, please confirm the the "require windows hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" is turned off as well.

Answer 5

click start
