Issues with removing the Windows login feature.
Issues with removing the Windows login feature.
Typically during Windows installation I can turn off login via NETPWIZ, but it didn’t work this time. I attempted to re-enable and then turn it off again, but still had issues. After that, I disabled the PIN and user login settings, yet the login screen remained visible.
Sure, I can do that. Let me know what you'd like to elaborate on!
It's unusual to find anything to search for. That's the usual situation. Computers shouldn't be configured for automatic login or blank passwords anymore. I don't grasp why avoiding passwords is necessary. How often do you restart or log in and out?
I usually leave the password empty when creating an account, but after setup I immediately enter a password. This helps me bypass the security questions Microsoft designed for local accounts, because my users often have different answers that wouldn’t matter to them. Asking me to provide questions tied to my situation would be too troublesome for everyone. I never skip the password though—it’s better to be cautious. After setting a password, you can add a PIN as an extra way in, and if you have a numeric keypad, it’s almost instant.
Password secured for your session. I lock my work machine each time I leave the desk. Typing the password becomes a habit I’m comfortable with. I’d admit I’d prefer a simpler setup if it meant less typing. Those days were exciting when I loved benchmarking and gaming, but now I prioritize hands-on use. Different approaches for everyone, but I wouldn’t risk performance if it meant losing access.
I’m not needing a password. The last installation worked perfectly. This time I couldn’t remove it. Need some assistance, by the way.
