Auto Logon

It seems Microsoft removed "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" from User Accounts
I have single user clients (Only one person in a home) that want the auto logon.
I read about turning off the "Windows Hello sign in" will allow auto logon, will this computer does not show the "Windows Hello sign in" option.

I read https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/324737/how-to-turn-on-automatic-logon-in-windows

However, there is NO “DefautlUserName” as the Support Doc suggested.
Below is an image of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Where the AutoLogonSID looks like it was removed(?) it is the same characters when a user that was authorized for a folder on a domain is removed.
Do you suppose there is a way to edit this line?
Or does someone know another way?

Hi,

Microsoft has a tool to easily configure Windows’ built-in auto logon mechanism, you could try the method below.

Autologon for Windows v3.10
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

There wouldn't be by default but you can simply set or create the missing keys as needed

Based on the picture, you will have to add all three keys to the registry: DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword, AutoAdminLogon

The tool "Autologon v3.10" by Mark Russinovich of Sysinternals (Microsoft) worked for me too.
