No check box in netplwiz 19035 and above

For if you don't want a login screen in win10

After a CLEAN install with Win10 19035 or above, there is no checkbox in netplwiz 'Users must enter a user name and password'.
After dozens of search's I couldn't find an answer for this, they are all outdated. So after a lot of experimenting I worked this out to fix it.

1 Clean install normally.

2 Restart you will have to use your pin.

3 Change to a local account, I didn't put in a password just left blank, Restart twice.

4 You should now have check box in 'netplwiz'. Uncheck, apply and put in your normal microsoft password. Restart.

5 Change back to Pin, restart put in your pin, Run netplwiz, and uncheck again, 'put in your normal microsoft password' You now shouldn't have to login again.

Its a bit long, there might be a shorter answer but I haven't found it..

Actually, it's MUCH quicker than this. Just open the sign in options at settings/accounts/sign in options and turn the "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft Accounts" to off, then re-open Netplwiz. Voila! it's back ;-)
In here, you can also select "never" in the "require sign in" while you're here if you don't want to have to enter a password after the screen goes off or machine to sleep.

Thanks, worked perfectly.
When I did this for my other mining pc, I had to go through registry but couldn't find those instructions again, this was way simpler.
