Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 10532

WightWalker · 02 Sep 2015

I've created a 2nd Windows 10 Pro build from a Macrium image to receive Insider Preview Builds on a separate HD to my main operating system.

My Windows 10 Pro on SSD didn't use to require me to sign in as I've unchecked to 'tick box' below:

My 2nd HD has successfully upgraded to build 10532 but now when the PC boots up whether on SSD (Windows 10 Pro) or HD (Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview build 10532) it prompts me to say that the user name or password is incorrect, then asks for a password against 1 of 2 users.

Any ideas why this is happening as I've unchecked to opt out of accessing with a password.

I would suggest you click on the advanced tab and set up the automatic login of the user that you want to be logged in on startup.

I would prefer not to have to sign at all.

Windows + R to open the run dialog. Then type netplwiz

Well....I have a local account on my desktop computer named Kodi. I have it set using the above to automatically log in that local account. I use a remote app on my Android phone to remotely start the desktop via Wake on Lan, it logs in the local account Kodi, then task scheduler starts the Kodi multimedia program which pops up on my living room TV. Doesn't get much more automatic/simpler than that.

try disconnection the hardrive with the preview and see if it still wants a password on the ssd

Can you PM me on how you did the Wake on Lan with Kodi. I have Roomie Remote that I use to turn on all my home theater stuff, like receiver, tv but I'd like to figure out how to get it so it can also turn on my PC as well and straight into KODI or PowerDVD.

Update: Solved
Despite the 'tick Box' being unchecked, it would appear that Windows still checks for a valid username/password; I had recently changed this on my Microsoft Account.

Solution was to re-tick, then un-tick entering the required username/password & now both SSD & HD builds of Windows 10 Pro boot without the need to enter a password.
