I have Windows 10 Pro computer with a local non-microsoft Admin Account. How can I enable it to login automatically at boot time? The corresponding checkbox in netplwiz isn't visible.

1Please provide a screenshot. There should absolutely be a checkbox.– RamhoundCommented Aug 25, 2020 at 9:46

1@Ramhound I added the screenshot. I read that the checkbox may disappear when using Windows Hello or Pin login, but I'm using neither. This is a fresh and fully updated install, no microsoft account, no pin or Windows Hello, just a single user.– Andreas HartmannCommented Aug 25, 2020 at 13:09

1Does this answer your question? Enable auto sign-in on Windows 10– SpatzCommented Mar 19, 2021 at 9:34

Go to Settings > Accounts > Work Access. If you have access with work place, the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option won't appear.

1If you are using a Microsoft account, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options. Toggle the button under "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts" Off. Restart Windows 10 to apply the changes. Then you should see the checkbox "Users must enter a username and password to login" in netplwiz. Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 3:37
In order to make the checkbox appear, you need to first remove your PIN (or face/fingerprint/security key if applicable)
go to Settings > Account > Sign In Options
select "Windows Hello PIN" and then click remove.
Then run netplwiz again and the checkbox should be visible.

Thanks. Unfortunately I can't test it anymore so I can't accept an answer at this time. Commented Apr 18, 2021 at 10:17
