Windows 10 Logon Password Now Required Every Time - Whats Going On

Recently I have had to reset my laptop running Windows 10 to factory settings and now, every time I boot up, it keeps asking for my email password to allow me to login, even though I didn't set this when restoring. I even thought I'd made a mistake, so last evening restored it again, taking particular notice, but still it keeps requesting this. I never use my email address for logging on, I use my nickname, but even that isn't showing anymore.

I usually just allow it to boot up without security and find this very annoying. What can I do about this?

Anyone had similar problems and know the answer?

Right. I think I've finally managed to sort the problem. For some unknown, and very annoying reason, when restoring to Factory Settings it automatically signs in to Microsoft Account. Something I have never used.

I have played around with Settings and now sign in using Local User Account. Why can't whoever it is leave things well alone? I have enough trouble using Windows without all this unnecessary extra work?

I hate Windows / Microsoft
