How do I boot my pc straight into the desktop without the username and picture shown

The Autologin is nicely solved with netplwiz, as already mentioned.
But the issue that it shows the logon screen anyway while logging in automaticly is not solved.

No difference, Im still seeing my Account name and Avatar and Welcome before coming to deskotop.

Some of these solutions no longer work on the Anniversary Edition. Try going through these new solutions. Some users have experienced success with them.

I was shocked to see someone else actively trying to get this done. I have a mame arcade and I'm trying to actively hide all traces of visual Windows to make it feel more authentic.

I, too, have searched high and low to get this removed with no luck. Current research on my end is looking at group policy editing as I'm running Win10Pro. Please do chime back if you come up with anything - I'll do the same.

BTW, I also have one computer that skips it entirely. Nothing I did to do that, either.

Skipping the login screen is not possible, setting it so you don't have a password on login is all you can do. No password will let Windows login automatically to the desktop.

WRONG. Click the windows key and type in netplwiz and uncheck the box to require a password. Simple and easy.

- from the start menu search for run and launch the run app.
- in run type "control user passwords2" without the quotes.
- unselect "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" with the login user selected.
- you will be prompted for the password when applying the changes.

I believe in power options, there should be an option to not require password on sleep or something. That helped me, if I remember correctly.

No you need to do much more than that....it's in a command line app and then a few more steps, nothing in a general control panel at all especially power options...it's a user privilege thing........see below.

open "netplwiz" and run it...disable the "users need login and pass at startup" or whatever the verbage is, it'll ask you for your username and pass. Enter it and if correct after saving just reboot, it'll go right into the desktop (logging in automatically). I do it all the time as I don't need password entered in the home (no kids) lol.

2-3 years later, I hope they're still not messing with this...
Please don't necro.
