Unable to Auto Login on Microsoft Teams Room devices ?
By chance do you use McAfee/Trellix encryption or any other encryption on these devices?
We had a similar issue and were able to resolve it with the info here: https://communitym.trellix.com/t5/Encryption-PC-and-Mac/Autologin-not-working-with-autoboot-devices/td-p/688902
The fix specifically was to either rename or delete the entries for the Credential Provider that was interfering with Winlogon from the paths below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Provider Filters\

In Windows 10, if a credential provider wants to automatically log the user on in a situation Windows does not think is appropriate, the system will display a sign in button as a speed bump. One example of this is when a user with an empty password locks the computer or signs out. In that scenario, Windows does not directly log the user back in.
