Automatic opening of Windows How to open Windows automatically, i.e. without having to enter my PIN number every time I switch on the laptop. (Am on Windows 10 and Firefox) Thank you in advance for your kind help. Joe Busuttil |
1 Attachment(s) How to automatically login into Windows, without typing a password (using netplwiz) appears to be one way to do it. On windows 8 all I had to do is search netplwiz and open it & the option is there. I haven't circled where to uncheck the option but the above link shows you. Attachment 6935 If you're only ever using the laptop at home and there is no possible way anybody could gain access to it then it should be ok. To be on the safe side if you are taking your laptop with you away from home you should disable auto-login. |
My usual thanks for yr prompt reply. I am afraid, however, that netplwiz doesn't work with Windows 10. Regards. Joe Busuttil |

ie: Use File explorer & type/copy-paste in control userpasswords2 & the accounts panel will automatically open after you press Enter key on keyboard (or whatever it's called on Windows PC's.) Uncheck the option as shown then press Apply & OK buttons, then in the Auto-Sign-in panel that will open after this, choose the account on the computer you wish it to apply to & type in their password twice. In the last image example I whited-out the account User name. Attachment 6936 . . Attachment 6937 . . Attachment 6938 (I must say I much prefer the system starting in Desktop mode after startup as it's doing, unlike Windows 8. Though this might depend on Win 10 version, settings & computer type, etc.) |
