Disabling sign in screen
I have Windows 10 and when I turn on my laptop, I want it to go straight into Windows, bypassing any sign-in screen. How do I accomplish this?
Thanks.

Hi, you search the searchable Tutorials section... and lo and behold you find..
Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup
You will want the corresponding tutorial to disable login on resume from sleep.
You will still need to remember your password.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am getting an error: "The user name or password is incorrect. Try again." I think this could be due to an issue with having two user logins with the same name. I get two options on the sign-in screen on the bottom left of the screen, both say Jon Lawrance. See attached.

Option 1 Step 4 B says you select which user to be signed in to automatically. That seems to be what you're trying to do.
I've not seen anyone have trouble with using this, but yours may be an unusual case.
You could try Option 2...
If you find anything unclear in the tutorial, please feel free to make a comment under said tutorial. Thanks.

I will keep plugging away to see what the issue is. If only I could remove one of those users, but I am fearful that I will delete the wrong one! I don't want to lose the data associated on my desktop, browser etc. It is hard to distinguish which account I am logged in with when both usernames are the same.

One appears to be an admin account, the other not- that should help you to distinguish them.
Note: your email address is exposed on the forum - you may wish to conceal at least part of that.

The other point of curiosity would be the distinction between the name of the user profile folder for these, under C:\Users.
This is derived from the username, so there will be some small difference between them.
You might consider changing the user name for the local account:

What is strange is that it shows only one user account on my system, yet login shows two.
Edit: Perhaps I am confusing emails and accounts with users.

How many login options do you have on the login screen?
And if you look here:
Just below what I've shown.. do you see another user account?
Also have a look at C:\Users - what user profile folders do you see?

I don't know how you've acquired two like that. You clearly only have one 'real' account.
Considering your screenshot in post #3, if you select the second one, you will have the option to remove it.
I strongly recommend that as a precaution you ensure you have a current 3rd party disk image (the routine and regular use of disk imaging is endlessly recommended here as the basis for securing your installation) before taking any action.
Just in case.
That way you can always recover.
