Accounts :: How To Remove Startup Password

Nov 28, 2015

I created a password that I must enter each time I start the computer.

Since this is a Home Computer and only I use it, it's a waste of time.

How can I remove the requirement for a password every time I turn on the computer ?

I tried the "netplwiz" route and unchecked the box, did not work.

Accounts :: Remove All Logins And Passwords At Startup?

Feb 10, 2016

Tried searching, tried a few things and still nothing.

My computer used to just turn on and go to the desktop.

Then, after an update it went to a log in screen at startup but pressing enter made it work - ie no password.

Now, after another update I now have a login that is linked to my hotmail account and I don't want it.

I don't want user profiles, I don't want accounts, I don't want a login.

I want to boot my computer and for it to go to the desktop. Simple.

How do I remove / disable all this rubbish?

Accounts :: No Longer Requires Password At Startup

Feb 10, 2016

I am not a user of Windows 10 but my dad (who is not good with computers) now has a computer with Windows 10. Everything was fine with his computer yesterday but he says he turned it off last night but kept the powercord plugged in. This morning, when he went to turn it on, his computer no longer required at password at startup, his background picture of his dog was no longer there and it was replaced with a tree. Also, his desktop icons are no longer there.

Accounts :: Can Change Windows Login Password Without Changing Microsoft Password

Nov 12, 2015

Ok so i am furious with Micro$oft now! the other day i was FORCED to change my microsoft account after much nagging i did so and i dont like changing logins too much. (this was a week ago)

now for some random reason on earth without my permission my windows login also changed login passwords to the microsoft account. I DONT WANT THAT! that password is too long and complicated for someone who locks his computer every 5 minutes or so. why did this just kick in now? i changed M$ account pass over a week ago and today it decides to change windows login?! can i change JUST my local windows login separate from microsoft login?

if i try to change pass from settings it it goes online and says you cant use password that has been used before.

Accounts :: Password Text Box Flips Back To Pre-password Screen?

Feb 2, 2016

after an update at starting, tablet laptop start gives picture/clock screen, that slides to the password screen but when password block is touched on screen or mouse clicked the screen flips back to the picture/clock ... how to deal with this kind of lock out that the typing box won't open and loops to clock screen? have turned off for an hour to see if that does it..but if not...would restarting into a repair or recovery be possible fix...i have never been able to get into safe mode without being logged in but have gotten into recovery during a restart which made me wonder if entering a recovery during boot and reversing the upgrade was possible if all else fails...

Accounts :: Accessing As Multi Accounts All Having Picture Password

Aug 21, 2015

I don't know if it's my installation, but I can't really switch to select a differet login user once I turn on my PC, and it brings to the last logged on user and his Picture password screen.

Both users have a Picture password and I don't have any chance to pick the other one, unless:

- I select a different type of access
- ask for password
- then the damn multi-user LH box appears
- and I can pick another one.

Then do the opposite until I get back to his Picture password screen. Odd and unbelieavable, considering how well streamlined in Win8.1...

The old way I found for Windows 8.x (HERE) is not working anymore, as I went in the Registry of mine upgraded Win10 and found it was already correctly modified (=1), but the login screen is a mess, nonetheless.

I'm ok with Task scheduling batches, reg modification, whatever. But it's Win10 Home, so no gpedit involved..

(it's a Dell Venue 11 Pro)

Performance :: Remove Items In Startup

Oct 28, 2015

It's easy to disable items in the Startup tab of the Task Manager, but how do I remove the item from the list altogether?

I would like to remove SWFTP and the Realtek audio manager from the list.

I already searched everywhere in the forum. I have done it in the past, through the registry editor. But when I navigate to the key location, I don't even see those items within the registry.

Antivirus :: Installed Bitlocker Does Not Ask For Password On Computer Startup

Nov 16, 2015

My query is regarding a brand new i7 sixth generation computer with Windows 10 Professional, including all the Windows upgrades, and a new Samsung SSD hard-drive.

The reason I bought Windows 10 Professional was for the full hard-drive encryption provided by Bitlocker in case my computer gets lost or stolen, as has happened to me previously. However, I have an ongoing problem with it and can't find a solution anywhere. I have tried to telephone Microsoft's telephone support several times but it has been beyond a joke with their outsource staff in far-flung countries with poor English claiming Windows 10 Professional does not have the option of Bitlocker or any form of encryption to all kinds of other absurdities.

Whenever I start my computer it does not ask me to enter a Bitlocker username or password (I am asked for the Windows password, but, as everyone knows, those are not totally secure and do no protect hard-drive data access). Also, in the Bitlocker section in Control Panel, I am not giving the option to edit a Bitlocker password, even though that option exists in all the other screenshots I have seen on the web.

How can I set my computer up to present me with a Bitlocker password on boot-up?

My system does say my hard-drive is encrypted, but how can I certain of that if there is not even password protection?

Here is what I see in my Windows Control Panel > Bitlocker section:

I note the warning message about rights being restricted to the system adminstrator, but I am the system adminstrator and have double-checked that.

Forgot Password And Stuck In Safe Mode Startup

Dec 10, 2015

After an update to Windows 10 I started getting "invalid register key" errors with every open.  I restored a previous registry value prior to the last update and still go the error.  Instructed to boot up in safe mode but as I logon using my microsoft account, safe mode does not open wifi connection and the password cannot be verified.  At least I think that is what is happening as I reset my microsoft account password using another computer and it is still refusing the password on the windows 10 machine.Is there anyway around the password request and get the computer to boot up in regular mode?

Want To Remove All User / Microsoft Accounts From PC

Oct 24, 2015

I'm giving this computer to a friend and I want it to be a blank slate. How do I disconnect all this microsoft account crap from my computer? The MS website gives instructions but there is no prompt to do so when I try. How do I disable the opening password when booting up the computer? I tried the netplwiz command and unchecked the box but all it did was make another user with the same name. Or is there a way I can make a new admin account for him somehow and delete all the other ones from that one?

Accounts :: How Not To Enter Password Wakeup

Dec 9, 2015

Some might say, Windows 10 home can be frustrating. Ok!, When my desktop goes to sleep, I have to enter my password on wakeup. I've searched all over the internet...and that includes www.tenforurs.com and printed out some thirty pages on how it can be done, but, no luck.

I have printed how to Make Windows 10 not require a Password on Wake. I went to Power Options in Control Panel, click the "Require a password on wakeup" on the left-hand side. Clicked on... "Change settings that are currently unavailable" link, then click the "Don't require a password " button, and made I saved it.

After the computer goes to sleep and I need to wake it up, it asks for my password. I've tried this at least dozen times in many different way according to some that post how to do it.

Accounts :: How To Get Rid Of Extra Password Logins

Feb 23, 2016

This is my home computer. I just upgraded to Windows 10 (Home). At my login screen I see all my family's login names (as I should) but I also see 6 logins labeled "Password".

It seems that each "Password" login is associated with an individual user. So if I select one of the "Password" logins it will bring up the login for "Kevin" select a different one and it will up the login for say "Amanda" etc... This is just confusing is there anyway of getting rid of these extra logins?
