Hello,
I have two PCs, the first one not connected to the Internet and only used as a word processor, the second one connected to the Internet. Both are running on Windows 10.
I followed the procedure indicated under NETPLWIZ to remove the password on startup of my PC. On the first one, it works. On the second one, at startup, a message appears: "We are unable to log you in at this time, Please check and try again later." Below this message is an "OK" button that I click,
Then two accounts are displayed at the bottom left!! And it’s the one underneath that is selected by the system, with my first name truncated to "gerar"! From this account, I can't open a session, so I select the first account and enter my original password, and it works!!
I therefore wanted to remove this password feature, and the problem got worse!!
Can you tell me what to do to get out of this mess?
I should mention that my partner's computer has the same issue after performing the same procedure.
Thank you for your response.
Best regards,
Gérard

Hi,
It's possible that the password saved in netplwiz is incorrect.
At worst, you can uncheck the option "users must press CTRL+Alt etc."
It won't attempt to log in automatically anymore.

Please press any key to continue the disinfection...-
Thank you for your quick response.
I performed the maneuver but it doesn't change anything. Where does this second account with my name come from, but for which I don't have the password?- If it doesn't appear in netplwiz, it's a bug in Windows 10.
On the other hand, I recommend having two administrator accounts, one of which should be a local account (not a Microsoft account).
It will serve as a backup.
See the following page to add one: how to add an administrator user on Windows.
