Login Automatically in Windows 11
Making Windows 11 automatic log-on is for your advantage only. It is beneficial when you have a long password assigned to your local account and don’t need to enter it every time you start your device. If your system has multiple users or if it isn’t physically secured, you aren’t advised to enable automatic log-on. Follow the below steps only if you have physically secured your computer and you are the only user using it. Read this article to learn more in detail.
To Enable Automatic Login using Settings,
Right-click on the Windows Start button and then select Settings, or press the Windows + I key to open Settings.
Click on account settings, and then select sign-in options on your right side.
In some cases, automatic login won’t work if any of the Windows Hello sign-in options (PIN, facial recognition, or fingerprint) are enabled. So, you might want to disable Windows Hello before enabling auto-login. First, you can try to enable automatic login with Windows Hello. If it does not work, then you can come back to the sign-in options in Windows settings and remove Windows Hello.
Under accounts, sign-in options, select your current sign-in method, and then select Remove.
To sign in, select the Remove button.
Confirm your identity by entering the password and then clicking OK.
Note: If you need to use passwordless sign-in by typing the Windows Hello PIN/Face/Fingerprint sign-in option, you can leave this setting on and skip the next steps mentioned here. Passwordless sign-in supplies improved security, but you have to use the Windows Hello PIN/Face/Fingerprint sign-in option to log in.
