If it is a Microsoft account then it may be syncing with another computer on the account.
transferring the settings to the new system.
I have had such though mine is the reverse of yours, when setting up a computer
autologin is enabled. just easier for me, after I get the computer the way I want, I turn
off autologin.
Hi @JLAF5150,
Wierd anamoly .......!!!!!! May be it is wired into your system.
What exactly is the model no. of your Dell laptop? Maybe your Dell laptop supports Device Encryption.
To check, type System Information in the search field and run it as administrator.
Roll down and check. Does it say " Device Encryption Support - Meets prerequisites ". That's it. Your Dell Laptop incorporates Device Encryption, which is a less rigorous form of Standard bitlocker encryption.
Explained here: "Device encryption is available on supported devices running any Windows 10 edition. If you want to use standard BitLocker encryption instead, it's available on supported devices running Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education. Some devices have both types of encryption. For example, a Surface Pro which runs Windows 10 Pro has both the simplified device encryption experience, and the full BitLocker management controls."

Back on track,
If indeed your system supports Device encryption, you will also find a "Device Encryption" applet in Control Panel.
Click on it and in the ensuing screen click on "Backup your Recovery key" to save/print it.
Alternatively, You can go to Settings > Update & Security > Device Encryption and click on "Bitlocker settings" to save/print the recovery key
You can also retrieve the recovery key from your Microsoft account from any PC https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey
