Yes. With this string value =0 it was getting locked every time I powered it down (again, except for when I click on Shut Down link in Start menu. Somehow this link operates independently from...
So...
Added AutoAdminLogon - set value to 1. Login screen is still there.
AutoLogonChecked - set value to 1. Login screen is still there.
Then I noticed a string in Winlogon ->...
Have just found this old article about mysterious AutoLogonChecked: Logging On - AutoLogonChecked Registry Key Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums. He just added AutoLogonAdmin and set value to 1,...
I meant to use an "option" not mentioned in the tutorial, since tutorial apparently doesn't cover my situation - my laptop has a string AutoLogonChecked instead of AutoAdminLogon.
How about Option 3 :) - set value to 1 in AutoLogonChecked?
Thank you. As I wrote, I unchecked "require password" in Netplwiz and left password fields blank. This didn't help - Logon screen still appears every time (except for when I shut it down by clicking...
Ok, here is a curve ball :) - Is there any way to bypass Login screen when there is no password?
One local account, one user. Password fields were left blank. When I turn it On, it opens with...
Thanks, staying with ongoing makes sense.
The very first download source - Github - in the very first line of comments says about the Open 4.4.131 - "Automatic settings import from Classic...
I am suspicious of changes, probably partly due to getting old :). Is Open much better than my current (the last) CS?
I am happy with Classic, don't see any need to switch to Open. You may try to backup the Classic settings and then import this backup file into Open as per instructions (after you've installed the...
I completely uninstalled the CS with Revo and reinstalled it, everything is back to normal, doesn't revert to Win tiles upon reboot. Thanks for the tip on backing up settings - saved me time after...
Thanks. My settings in CS remain the same, - "start automatically". Will try to reinstall or replace it with Open Shell.
IIRC, that this is one of Win 10 particulars, - it reverts to Win 10...
Have been using Classic Shell Start Menu for a long time. After a couple of recent Win 10 updates the Classic doesn't start automatically after reboot. Instead, it starts in Win 10 tiles. Click on...
You can set the options on Power button on your computer so that computer will go into Sleep - not Shut Down. Then, when you boot Win 10 again, it will open in Kodi - but only if it was in Kodi...
Kodi works just fine for playing media on Win 10 on big screen. One of the best 10ft interfaces that I know. To click on web pages outside Kodi, I exit Kodi. Any air mouse will do. Simple.
Thanks, RickC. Nirsoft is nice. There was indeed a mysterious "Device" scheduled at 3am, and half a dozen other things.
Being self-taught, I don't recognize most of them, so just disabled whatever...
It's not easy to catch it at 3am, there seems to be no fixed time. Yesterday woke at 7am.
About clean boot. To troubleshoot, - since I don't see programs that refused to install or didn't run...
Lastwake didn't help because after it had waken up at 7am, it went to Sleep again 3 hours later. So Lastwake only shows this last press of Power button - when I woke it up again.
Tutorial on Wake...
Re-installed Win 10 after botched update, now it wakes up at 3 am every day.
Cleaned Task Scheduler from what (IMO) was not needed. Still wakes up.
Checked Power settings, don't see anything...
I think on this machine I never had Irfan - this was on the previous machine. Revo Uninstaller is good at finding leftovers, and it doesn't see it.
Oddly, when I typed "Irfanview" in Start Menu...
Opening a file (in incompatible app) is a conscious action, I would've noticed. Besides, why would I intentionally open a file not by usual left-click, but through the right-click menu "open with",...
Don't remember seeing notifications that default app was reset. I'm trying to read all the notifications when they pop up :)... Will keep an eye on it.
I don't have Irfanview, and very few apps are...
No unusual cleaners/backups. Bitdefender for 24 hrs protection (more efficient than Win10 Defender). I doubt it does this.
My alternate selection for pictures is actually MS product - Office 10...
Spunk - I have set the defaults that I wanted. Many times. It reverts to Win 10 defaults again.
I want defaults: browser - Firefox, PDF - Adobe. Both open with Edge by default.
Set the default apps - Win 10 reverted to Edge a week later. Repeated several times with the same result. Same...
