I recently reinstalled Windows 10
on my Dell XPS Laptop. On my older system, I had the admin auto logon
feature turned on via the registry settings. This setting required a defaultPassword
String
value in the winlogon
registry node. Since my previous system only had a local account with a password instead of PIN
, I'm not having trouble to setup auto login on my new system on which I've added a PIN login for my Microsoft account.
I don't need the PIN disabled, cause I don't intend to allow access to my system on wakeup/lock-screen/or restart.
I have added a lockscreen.bat
:: (rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
) to my startup folder on Windows 10. This batch file locks my computer after it's restarted and logged in.
I'm trying to disable login on system start, and then lock it again via the batch script to allow loading of programs etc, to avoid delayed startup caused by windows start stuck at login.
On my previous Windows 10 machine, this was done easily, although now it's difficult due to the PIN. Error is that it says that the username password don't match.

It sounds like you're avoiding disabling the PIN, but if you are willing to disable it you can get auto login working this way:
1. Disable your PIN
2. Enable Auto Login
netplwiz
and press Enter or click OK.After that on the next restart you'll auto login!
