    1

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts - Sign In Options.

    IN there, is a setting to use Windows Hello to sign into Windows, disable that setting.

    2

    Click your Start Button, then just type netplwiz and press Enter.

    On the resulting dialog, there should be a check-box to require users to enter a password, disable that, then when asked on the new popup window, you must provide your full login details (Microsoft account Email address and Password) and apply that setting.

    That should remove the need to log into Windows, your PC should then just boot up to the Desktop.

    If this is a local Windows account, the password can be removed from Settings:

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Go to Accounts > Sign-in options.
    3. Select Password > Change.
    4. Enter the current password and select Next.
    5. Leave the new password fields blank.
    6. Select Next > Finish.

    If the PC signs in with a Microsoft account, removing the account password is not the supported path. A supported alternative is to sign in without a password by using passwordless options for the Microsoft account.

    If the issue is only that Windows asks for credentials at startup and the goal is automatic sign-in, netplwiz can be used:

    1. Press Windows key + R.
    2. Type netplwiz and press Enter.
    3. In User Accounts, select the account.
    4. Clear Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    5. Select Apply.
    6. Enter the current password to confirm.
    7. Restart the PC.

    Warning: removing the password requirement or enabling automatic sign-in reduces security. Anyone with physical access to the PC may be able to access files, email, and saved passwords.

    If Windows is using a PIN, that is separate from the account password.
