Windows 11 two accounts sign in issue

I got it fixed finally! And there was clearly some confusion but I found a solution, other than the ones here, that worked for me.

1. in the netplwiz thing (win+R) I checked the box that says "users must enter etc etc..."
2. I rebooted my pc, I now only had 1 account left.

If you want to now auto-login:

1. Go to settings - accounts - sign in options and SETUP A PIN (or fingerprint)
2. Go back to netplwiz and UNCHECK the before mentioned checkbox. You will get prompted with an autologin popup where you have to enter your password to uncheck the box.
3. Reboot
4. This worked for me. I now have 1 account and no pw/pin needed to login

Same thing is happening to me!! Frustrating!!

Hi Meyata,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

It sounds like you're experiencing a common issue where your Windows 11 system is showing both a local account and a linked Microsoft account at the sign-in screen. To resolve this, you can either remove the local account or merge it with your Microsoft account. Here's how you can do both:

To Remove the Local Account:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Accounts.
3. Click the Other users page on the right side.
4. Select the local account (the one with the generic icon) and click the Remove button.
5. Click the Delete account and data button to confirm.

To Merge the Local Account with Your Microsoft Account:

1. Open Settings on Windows 11.
2. Click on Accounts.
3. Click the Your Info page on the right side.
4. Under the “Account settings” section, click the Sign in with a Microsoft account instead option for the Local account setting.
5. Confirm your Microsoft account email address and password.
6. Confirm the local account password (if applicable).
7. Follow the prompts to complete the merge.

After completing these steps, you should be able to sign in directly with your Microsoft account using your PIN. Remember to back up any important data before removing any accounts to prevent data loss.

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Your Sincerely

it happened mostly after change system product name/ user account name... after change back to old user name it went back normal...i think it is a bug

Concerning NO OTHER ACCOUNTS right click hit terminal then type NETPLWIZ.. when users do not have to use password to log in- either remove or check the check-mark box hit apply then check or remove the check-mark the box again and hit apply again.. shut down then power on again..... let me know..
