User accounts / login screen
Hello, I have two issues and I suspect they are related.
I am using Windows 10 version 1909.
Ultimately, I want to disable the login screen when starting windows.
I have unchecked the box that asks for a password under netplwiz, and unchecked the box for password login under power and sleep settings.
I am still asked to login when I start windows. I suspect this is because there are two user accounts.
One user account is just user, which is what I use. The other is my name, John, which I must have set up when I was installing windows and I don't remember the password for.
I tried to delete the John account so it would just login automatically to the user account, but when I go under user accounts after typing in systempropertiesadvanced under the run command, I don't see this "John" account.
So in short, I have done all the things that a simple google search would suggest for me to disable the logon screen following a restart, but to no avail. I suspect this is because of a second user account for which I don't know the password, but I can't seem to find this account anywhere to delete it.
Any suggestions? Thank you for your time!
