Windows 10 Auto Login Not Working
In my previous post I’ve covered how to, by using the command netplwiz or control userpasswords2. However, that option is disabled when your computer is joined to a domain. Fortunately, you can still set up Windows to auto login to your domain account using a registry trick.How to Set up Windows to Auto Login to Domain Account?. Press the Windows key + R to bring up the Run box. Type regedit and hit Enter. When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following registry location:HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon. In the right pane, you need to modify or create each of these registry entries: DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword, DefaultDomainName, AutoAdminLogon.
It appeared to be working, it took maybe 30 mins for it to finish adjusting the volume, which I thought was a bit odd as I remembered it took quite a bit longer than that before.Turns out the volume has not been changed at all, with most of the library remaining at 100% volume with the newer music remaining at the default 50%. I thought I'd be able to select my entire library (12000 or so songs in total) and manually re-adjust the volume back to the default 50% setting. Itunes volume adjustment not working. My iTunes library is a bit of a mess, I adjusted the Volume Adjustment to 100% for most of the library in the 'Get Info' tab a long time ago, but some of the albums I've added recently have been kept at the default 50% volume setting. I've also kept the Volume on my iPod 80GB at the default volume setting for every song.Since I've upgraded to the 160GB, I sync'd my iTunes Library with my new iPod. I upgraded from a 80GB iPod Classic to a 160GB Classic.
If any of these keys are missing, create a new String Value (REGSZ). Double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type the user name to log on with, and then click OK. Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type the password for the user account under the value data box, and then click OK. Double-click on DefaultDomainName, and specify the domain name of the user account.
If it’s local user, specify local host name. Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, set AutoAdminLogon to 1 to enable the auto logon.
If AutoLogonCount or AutoLogonChecked exists, delete it.Once those four options are created and altered, you’re good to reboot and from now on every time you start Windows it will automatically login to your specified domain account! Again, if for some reason the auto-logon doesn’t work, go back into the registry and double-check the four entries in that folder to make sure nothing’s out of place.

Code: 1.SeeUnfortunately, with 1709 this no longer works because Windows appears to set the value back to 0 at login and logoff and who knows how many other places in between. This means that the value can no longer be set with login or logoff scripts as the process appears to run outside of that scope.

Now, another fix on SuperUser involves changing registry permissions to the parent key to disallow SYSTEM access.While this works, it isn't ideal in case I need to use a SYSTEM-based service in the future to change the value again. Is there a new methodology introduced in Windows 10 1709 (like a new group policy setting) that will disable auto login?EDIT: Note that setting a password on the account is not a solution as the project requirements state that no password can exist. Imagine PCs in a library environment where a guest is using the PC.Thanks,Beems. If you have an account with no password, that option doesn't work. If it was that simple, I assure you I would not be here.EDIT: Note that it is a requirement that the account not have a password.I understand that it is a requirement that this account has no password, and that you have tried all ways to fight against Windows auto login. Stop fighting and turn the auto login it against itself.Why not just configure the account to auto login, but give it the WRONG password? The username and password you give isn't checked, so you can use anything you like.Or even configure it for a non-existent account to auto log in.
This is what I get at start up if I auto-login a username that doesn't exist.Click OK and you go to the sign in screen where you can choose which user you want to sign in as.
