Windows 11 – Auto Logon

How to enable password-less user logon

  • Many sites claim to use the netplwiz tool, but unfortunately
  • Microsoft decided to remove the required checkbox in recent versions of Windows 11. Here is how to get it back:

Just create a *.reg file with the following content and double-click it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device]
"DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion"=dword:00000000

Then run netplwiz (restart might be required)
