I just installed a new win 10 pro 64 build 19041.

1. I cant get rid of the sign in at boot.

What i have tried:
  1. The NETPLWIZ does not have the check box
  2. Windows settings does not have a Windows Hello button.
  3. Disabling Windows Hello in GREDIT.MSC didnt work.
2. This win install created 3 separate accounts. Myname, Admin and Myname@yahoo.com. (Myname is not real). How can i consolidate Myname and Admin accounts.



Thanks

I hadnt seen that suggestion anywhere. Regardless it worked. Thanks

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device\DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion is set to 2 (which means ON according to the tutorial). Setting it to 0 restores the checkbox in Netplwiz.
