Have a local account with no password.
Shutting down from that account, Windows will default open with that account, and proceed directly to the desktop.
Obviously, this is not a good option if there are multiple people in the house who may use this system.

Look at Netplwiz utility. It does exactly what you're asking about. It'll let you put in the password and go straight to the desktop automatically. As noted above, this is not a good idea for a shared system. But if you're the only one using it, then no problem

My comment above - a Local Standard account with no password, does exactly this.
Yes, there is a couple seconds of 'log in screen'. And then it goes directly the desktop, with no user action needed.
Press the power button, wait a few seconds, desktop.
Both Win 10 and 11.

Absolutely unsure of how to do that.
But why? What is the issue with that?
Kiosk or embedded mode would probably do this, but that would probably be overkill.

it will pause on the "log in screen" no matter what. not found a way around that. all the "hacks" or work arounds simply auto login for you, but it still has to pass the log in screen for this to happen.
no way around this i have ever seen. you're just gonna have to suck it up for that second or 2...
