    booting all the way to my desktop


    Hi all,
    I have a problem booting all the way to my desktop automatically. It was set up to do that without having to input any passwords or pins. I think it happened after the last update.
    When I turn on my computer it gets me here:


    I click on OK and it gets me here.


    As you can see there are now 2 accounts listed. The one with my picture is the one I want. I have no idea where the other one is coming from. After I click on my picture, I get this:


    Now I can input my pin and I am up and running.
    Where did the second account come from and how do I get rid of it or how do I change the order so it boot with my picture?

    Any one?
    Thanks

    Two user accounts with the same name - interesting. A local and M$ account?

    Have you tried logging into it to see what it's about?

    I just logged in to the account without my picture and it is the same password. It looks like it is a duplicate entry.
    Where it came from I don't know. Both logins tell me Administrator very strange.
    and what about the first screen, it says we can not connect??

    Do you recall if M$ forced you to create an online account/2nd mystery account - apparently they're doing that now.

    I have not conformed yet. All my accounts are still local accounts.

    Follow this procedure to turn off automatic logon:
    Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup

    Then do the procedure in the same tutorial to turn automatic login back on.

    It's a common occurrence, not exactly sure what causes it, I only know the solution
