How to Auto Login to Windows 10 Without Username and Password

NOTE: This trick will work in all Windows versions including Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP. With the help of this tutorial, you’ll be able to auto login to Windows without entering your username and password. When you’ll turn on your computer, Windows will not ask for username or password at Login Screen (also known as Sign-in Screen and Welcome Screen). It’ll directly sign you in to the Desktop.

When we start Windows, it asks for the user name and password at login screen. Although its a good feature but if you have a personal computer and you are the only user of the computer, you might want to disable this feature and want to automatically log into Windows without any need to enter your username and password.

Today we are going to share a simple trick which will help you in disabling this feature and force Windows to automatically log you in. In this way you’ll directly boot into Windows Desktop.

3. Now disable “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” option and click on Apply button. It’ll ask to enter your username and password which you want to use for auto-login feature. Enter the correct details and click OK. You need to enter username and password only once so that Windows can store them for future logins.

4. That’s it. Now Windows will always automatically login you and will never ask for password.

PS: If you want to reverse it in future and want to disable auto login feature so that Windows can prompt users to enter username and password again, then enable the option mentioned in 3rd step again and apply changes.
