Windows – How to choose the default user account for Windows 10 (technical preview)

user-accountswindows-10-preview

On my computer, I have two accounts: my account (password protected) and a second one, without a password.
Each time Windows 10 (technical preview) starts, it automatically logs-in the second account, so I have to log-out and choose my own account.

Is there a way I can prevent that behavior? I was unable to find any settings for this.

I deleted the second account and recreated it but it didn't help.

PS: Windows 10 it is not a clean install (it's windows 7 updated to windows 10)

Best Answer

First open the Run dialog box by:

Windows XP:  Start -> Run
Windows 7/10: Start -> Type "run" (no quotes) and select when shows or
(All Windows versions): [Windows Key] + [R]  (very quick way of bringing it up)

Then in the Run dialog box, put control userpasswords2<ENTER>

You should be able to resolve your problem from there.
