  1. Windows 10 netplwiz 'Users must enter a username and password Missing


    I Had this problem with netplwiz 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' checkbox missing

    But according to my research, this is an issue for some users only with Build 2004.....thought it was due to a corrupt user profile......so did the suggested registry mod & all is back to normal, meant to be `by design` by Microsoft to discourage passwords and use other means of logging in....need go to the following reg key and change the DWORD to 0 from 2.....would love any comments on this, but it worked for me

    :)

  2. Other User. The username or password is incorrect.

    If you would just like to bypass Windows 10 password login, you may follow the steps below:

    1. Type netplwiz in the Start menu search bar, then click the top result to run the command

    2. Remove the tick from the box next to 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' and hit Apply

    3. Enter your username and password, then re-enter your password.

    4. Click Ok

    5. Click Ok again to save the changes.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Hi,

    To remove your login screen on Windows 10, kindly follow these steps:

    • On the search box, type netplwiz and press Enter.
    • A new window labeled as User Accounts will appear, listing all user accounts. Click on your user account and uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    • Enter your account password and click OK.
    • Reboot your PC and check if your new settings has been saved.

    Let us know how it works.

    Regards.
