Login Screen and Virtual Desktops.

[rvg90]

I have a couple of questions about W10:

1- How do you disable the login screen for the MS account? i went to netplwiz and disabled it but it still keeps asking for MS account password every time i open my PC.

2- Is it possible to use a virtual desktop on a 2nd monitor?

thanks in advance.

Hello

If netplwiz doesn't work, you can configure your Windows' registry by following the steps given below:

> Log on with Aadministrator account.

> Open the Run command box. (Windows + R)

> Type REGEDIT in the available field and press Enter.

> In the Registry Editor window, from the left pane, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.

> From the right pane, double-click the DefaultUserName string.

> In the opened Edit String box, in the Value data field, type MicrosoftAccount\<your account's email>. Example: MicrosoftAccount\rvg80@gmail.com

> Click OK.

> Back on the Registry Editor window, from the right pane itself, double-click the DefaultPassword string.

Note: If the DefaultPassword string doesn't exist, you can create one by right-clicking anywhere in the right pane, hovering mouse to New in the context menu, and then clicking String Value. Also make sure that you rename the new string to DefaultPassword. (Case sensitive).

> In the Edit String box of the DefaultPassword string, under the Data value field, type the password for your Microsoft account that you provided earlier.

> Click OK and close the Registry Editor window.

> Restart your computer and you should be able to auto-sign-in to Windows.

Good Luck!!
