Step 3: A window will pop up after clicking "Apply," where you need to provide your system password twice to confirm the changes. With that, the Windows Auto Login will be enabled, and you can confirm it by restarting your computer.
Method 3: Turn on Windows Auto Login with Registry Editor
The Windows Auto Login feature can also be enabled using Registry Editor. This method will allow you to sign in to your Microsoft account, domain account, or local user account without needing a password. Below are the steps you need to follow to enable Auto Login Windows 10 using Registry Editor:

If there is no value named "DefaultUserName" in the Winlogon key, right-click and select "New" and then "String Value" to create a new string value. Name the new file "DefaultUserName" and set your username as its data.
Step 4: Next, you need to find the "DefaultPassword" value and ensure it has your system password as its data value. If it doesn't exist, create it by right-clicking and selecting "String Value" in the "New" menu. Rename the new file as "DefaultPassword" and change its data value to your password.
