On my Windows 10 Home pc I have two users, both without password. To disable the automatic login feature, the usual hack was to alter the registry and set Enabled
to 1
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch
. See for instance here: How to prevent automatic login of the last user in Windows 10?
This has been working for some time, but after the recent Fall Update, it no longer works, and the last user is automatically logged on again. Even when logging off before powering off the pc.
Does anyone know of a (new) workaround, preferably not involving passwords?

This blog posts suggests disabling "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart" in user account options.

Possibly this would need to be done for all user accounts.
