doestergaard Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have a hard time figuring out how to disable the auto-login on Windows 7. When your PC starts or reboots it automatically logs in. I only have 1 user account on there, but I don't want it to automatically login. Is there somehow to prevent this? Have already tried to tweak HKLM_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and tried control userpasswords2 and tick on "Users must enter username and password". Can you make it show the logon screen with profile list? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poety Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't what you means. Did you mean that you set a password and now want to disable it? If yes, it is so easy to fix this issue, I found this guide, it may help you, how to disable Windows 7 password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I don't think you can show (read "stop on") the "Welcome Screen" with only one active user and no password. You'll have to enable Secure Logon instead of "Welcome screen". Run "netplwiz" and check the Advanced pane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinplant Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Ponch is correct if you do not want your boot to go directly into your desktop: 1) The welcome screen requires at least 2 users acounts displayed. You could have the administrator account shown. 2) If only one account then you must enable Secure Logon which requires you "ctrl+alt+del" to display a login screen.
