How do i disable the login requirement upon starting up windows
How do i disable the login screen?
i would like to start my pc and go straight into windows instead of going through the login process
I have unticked the "user must enter a username and password to use this computer" and yet after restarting i still need to login.

You can use the netwizpl utility to turn off login in password during startup.
Some things you could check:
First, check if Windows is asking for a password after waking up from sleep. Go to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Sign-in options," and under "Require sign-in," set it to "Never."
Next, check if Windows Hello is forcing you to sign in. In the same "Sign-in options" menu, see if you have a PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition enabled. If so, remove them.
If that doesn’t work, you can try a more advanced method using the Registry Editor. Press "Win + R," type "regedit," and hit Enter. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Look for the following values and change them:"AutoAdminLogon" → Set it to 1
"DefaultUserName" → Enter your username
"DefaultPassword" → Enter your password (if this key doesn’t exist, create a new "String Value" and name it "DefaultPassword").If you’re using Windows Pro, you might also need to check the Group Policy Editor. Press "Win + R," type "gpedit.msc," and press Enter. Go to "Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options," then find "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" and enable it.
Hope that helps!
Keep in mind that disabling the login screen can pose a security risk, especially if your device is used in public spaces or shared environments. Always ensure your data is backed up and protected before making significant changes to account settings.
