Ha! How nice of you to say that. I have such a limited knowledge of Windows, I help with things I have had to learn and have worked for me. And I am always happy to be corrected without my ego being bruised. Everything else I leave for you pro’s 🙏

When it asks you to enter a username (which is usually pre filled, first 5 letters) and your password, Windows is asking you to pre fill your password so Windows can log in for you.

When you check the box “User must enter a user name and password…“ and click ok or apply, no further action is needed because the action will be you having to log in when windows starts up.

When un-checking “User must enter a user name and password…“ and clicking ok or apply, it will ask you to enter your log in/account password (pre-fill) so that you don’t need to use it when windows starts up.

Windows Hello needs to be turned off so windows doesnt ask you for a pin either. I know you understand this part so I assume you have done it. There is a thread for this in Ten forum, its 24 pages long. So you are not the only person that has had problems.
(FYI turning off Hello, will not wipe your pin it just informs windows you don’t want to use it to log in.)

Do you use a Microsoft account for logging into windows ****@outlook.com? I ask this because there was a time a while ago where instead of the first 5 letters of my username as the login name, I had to use my full Microsoft account name “****@outlook.com” nothing else worked and I never asked in forum or worked out why.
And do you have 2 accounts? An admin account and a general user account? Or just the Admin (like me)
When windows boots and asks you for a pin or password, are there any other accounts listed in the bottom left corner?

Ok much thanks for the very clear explanation. I need that sometimes lol.
Brink should probably correct the Step 4 instructions to reflect it showing unchecking that selection rather than checking it like it shows. That confused me.
I will give this a try shortly and advise!

Edit: Also I sign in with my pin, my account is an old hotmail email address I sign in with if not using pin.
No other accounts, just my admin account.

All good. It’s about now, when I am at the point that my advice isn’t helping, I start sweating and wish for someone more knowledgable than me steps in. (Which is most of the members in this forum)

Woohoo it worked baby!! And only had to do it one time!! It was the Step 4 instructions that were messing me up, once I unchecked that box and entered password, that was all it took!
So thank you so very much!! It was not your instructions that had me stumped.
Happy camper here yay!!
