Disabling Lock Screen and Sign in Win 10 Pro

Good morning all. Last Saturday I clean reinstalled Win 10 Pro on my laptop. It needed it after almost 5 years. So, for the first couple days, everything was fine. I decided to disable the lock screen and Windows sign in. It was great, then the next day I started getting another, but the same account for me saying that the user name or password is incorrect. With the first account that shows, it just asks for my pin. I signed in to the second one asking for correct name and password, and it is identical to the account asking for my pin. I never added a separate or different account. It just started showing up as two available accounts with all settings showing the same after signing in to either of them. First, how do I get rid of the second account? Second, it shows in all the settings and changes I made that I disabled lock screen and sign in, but I am still getting request to sign in after a reboot. I am attaching screen shots of everything I did. Thanks for the help in advance.

That doubled-up account entry is often reported by those who have an incorrect password stored though NetPlWiz.

The solution is to undo the automatic login then redo it.

Note that, as the tutorial explains, you might have to take additional action to make the necessary checkbox appear. The procedure for that is in

Hi Denis. I got help from another forum. This solved it. Thank you for your time today. Hope the rest of your day is safe and peaceful.

Solution:

this method usually works to remove that second Ghost account

Click your Start Button, then just type netplwiz and press Enter

Toggle that check-box for requiring a password to its opposite setting, then restart (not shut down) your PC and then go back in and set that check-box back to its original setting.

Then check if that ghost account has been removed.
