Problem with the login screen.
Problem with the login screen.
I understand your concern. You're trying to let a family member access your PC remotely while you're away, but you don't want them logged in or using your accounts. On Windows 10, the default behavior is to log you in at startup and require switching users, which isn't ideal for this situation. You might need to explore advanced settings or third-party tools to customize login preferences before turning on the computer.
I spent around an hour looking but managed to locate it. This guide is meant for anyone seeking the same solution later. Press win+R, type "netplwiz" and press Enter. Users need a username and password to access the computer. It’s unclear why this isn’t listed in profile or account settings.
