setting the time to choose account to log on

Peter,

There's nothing built-in to achieve what you want in either Windows 10 or Windows 11 so you'd have to search for some external program to do it for you.

I write passwords down somewhere secure yet accessible even if I'm using a PIN. There have been some circumstances in which Windows reverted to demanding a password; MS have corrected some of these but I don't know if all have been done.

All the best,
Denis

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

Piotr,

You haven't said why you want to do this.
Is it so you can do a particular job that needs Admin permission but you don't want to divulge the Admin password to the standard user?
It's possible to set that up using Task scheduler. There is a tutorial on the subject - Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials

Piotr,

Just an idea but what if you set up your Admin account in netplwiz to log in automatically every time.
Then if you wanted to log in to the standard account you could just log out - log in using the Start menu user icon.
Sign in User Account Automatically - TenForumsTutorials
and you might need to use this as well [it's explained in the first link]
Enable or Disable Passwordless Sign-in - TenForumsTutorials

You could easily set up a restart command in Task scheduler in those circumstances to achieve what you want.

I suppose the additional question is, why do you have the standard account? What is it used for?
