    Booting to Desktop


    I want to be able to boot straight to my Desktop. (Build 1903)

    I may want to setup a password later, but at the moment, it's just a pain. As a new installation, I was forced to create a Microsoft Account (which I don't need), create an email address for said account (I already had one, but this dopey computer refused to acknowledge it and had to create another) and a password I don't want.

    On boot, it gets to the Welcome screen and stops. I have to click mouse which displays my email address - which I don't want it to do and prompt me for a password, which again, I don't want to do.

    When I go Settings, Sign In Options, Privacy "Show account details such as email address on log in screen" I have this switched to OFF, but it's still there.

    How can I boot straight to desktop without all this aggro?
