John,

I have seen similar reports that have ended up proving to be caused by a mistake in using the netplwiz utility.
- netplwiz asks for a password when an account is selected but it does not necessarily check it properly at the time, it merely tries using it when you next login
- when a mistake has been made in entering the password into netwplwiz, an unwanted user entry appears on the login screen and the automatic login does not take palce.
- to undo the mistake, you just need to set netplwiz back up to demand that login is necessary for all accounts
- when the fault is seen to have been fixed, netplwiz can be used once again to allow the intended user account to be logged in automatically.

The tutorial on using netplwiz is Sign in User Account Automatically - TenForumsTutorials

By the way, the problem is defintiely not "because there are two user accounts". Netplwiz works whaver the number of user accounts.

Oh, and there is no need to use systempropertiesadvanced to check user accounts**. As you already know, the net user command shows user accounts as does netplwiz. You can also see them in
- Settings, Accounts, Your info
and
- Settings, Accounts, Family & other users
and, in some cases,
- Settings, Accounts, Access work or school

** Strictly-speaking, systempropertiesadvanced does not show user accounts but user profiles - the sets of files that make user accounts work.

Best of luck,
Denis
