Hey,

After many years of using win 10 I finally decided to upgrade to win 11.
It was a clean install.
It immediately started bothering me.

I wanted to disable password login at startup.
I searched on net and found 4 different options.
Ok, first option, no, second, no .... nothing worked, win11 still wants me to login with password, like they don't want me to change that, lol.
I also noticed some other changes, which i disabled first , then win 11 enables that settings back, weird.
Any tips or tricks maybe ?
Best

Thanks, i just found out the solution.
Netplwiz doesn't have this option, that was maybe before in win10 but not in latest releases anymore.
Weird, I have changed before this in registry, group policy ... but this worked now :
  1. Log in to your PC using the administrator account.
  2. Press Windows key + X and select "Computer Management."
  3. Go to "Local Users and Groups" > "Users."
  4. Right-click on your user account and select "Set Password."
  5. Leave the new password fields blank and click "OK."

I was able to get that back by turning off "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign in " in Settings/Accounts/Sign-in options- - Additional settings, then rebooting
