[SOLVED] Widgets without signing in ?

[m0v1c]

Hi all. Running Win 11 local account on a PC and would like some widgets like weather, but without the need to sign in as this is a shared computer. Anyway to do?

Two steps:

1.) Login in without username and password:

2.) Then use Task Manager > Startup to launch the desired widgets within that sign-in account.

= = = =

Do be aware that that account and the computer will essentially be unprotected as a result. Everyone using the computer will have access to that account and can do as they please.

Who else shares the computer? Even if a trusted individual(s), they could make some mistake or otherwise have things go astray.

I strongly recommend that you create a specific account for your needs and take the few extra seconds to enter the account user name and password.

Then, as before, just let Task Manager start the desired widgets.

Overall, going a step further, each user should have their own account (standard or admin) on the computer.

Thanks for your reply. I will see how this goes.

If you are basically the care taker of this computer, do what @Ralston18 suggested but I highly recommend creating another local user account with Standard privileges. This way whoever uses it can't really do much harm to the computer. The other account that you have should be behind a strong password.
