J’ai récemment setup a new computer for my parents with windows 10 home. I made two local accounts for them - no microsoft accounts. J’ai aussi would like to keep them without a password. Problem is now that windows automatically signs in with the last used account. No lock/login screen.
J’ai essayé un certain nombre de answers from similar questions here but none worked. Since it’s a home version there are no group policies and the method using task scheduler ne fonctionne pas because accounts with no password are not allowed to create such tasks.
Are there other options to force windows to show a user list au démarrage without setting passwords for the accounts?
The following link describes how to change this behaviour in Windows 8 using a registry setting and some permissions on that registry setting. It also works with Windows 10.
There’s one more problem to solve: The user SYSTEM automatically changes the value to 0. So we will disallow the user SYSTEM to change it.
Right mouse click at registry key UserSwitch → Permissions
Cliquez sur Advanced and then on the Disable inheritance-button; if your are prompted with two options now, choose the first one (Convert inherited permissions into explicit ones for this object)
At the top of the dialog, change the owner from SYSTEM to the group Administrators (if your Windows is not in English, the name might differ a bit, e.g. in German it would be “Administratoren”)
Select the group Administrators entry → Allow → full control
Double-cliquez sur the entry for SYSTEM, select type Deny and cliquez sur Show advanced permissions. Here Clear all → only check Set value
