If you’ve created a password for your user account in Windows 10, password input will be required on the sign-in screen each time Windows 10 starts, restarts, or wakes up from Sleep mode. This guarantees a certain level of data protection if you use the computer in public, but it may be inconvenient for home users as it increases the time of access to the desktop. Now, this post will show you how to disable password login when Windows 10 starts or wakes up.
Tips: Disabling password login does not mean the password is no use, or invalid anymore. The password is still required in many cases, for example, when others access your PC from the network, he or she will need to enter your password; when you lock your Windows 10 system, password input will be required when you log back into the system.
