If you have a local account, change your password and don't enter anything for the new password.

I am talking about booting up straight to the desktop.

If i remove the pin, then have to enter the password. The only option i can see is to enter the pin inorder to get to the desktop. I prefer neither the pin or password.

You should have an option to sign in using your Microsoft outlook email address and password.  This is the same info you'd use to log into your microsoft.com account, office portal, or your one drive, for example.

If you mean you would like to quickly access Windows 10 account without credentials, you have the option to choose offline account during Windows install, or change to local account in settings after install, and hit enter key when asked to set up password for local account.

@sethm1  Ohhh I misread.  Go to user accounts (shortcut type netplwiz in the bottom left of your desktop) and uncheck the box that says users must enter a login password.

Thats just it, there is no such option.

You should see this box (I can see it on the most up to date 10 pro and home):

Get rid of the other admin accounts so you just have the one.  And then restart and try again.

Yep - dont have that box to uncheck.

Re: I am talking about booting up straight to the desktop. You can do so by setting up a local account and deleting your Microsoft account in this PC. I did this once. I had a PC that had my MS account on clean install, but I needed to give the PC to a client immediately. Instead of repeating a clean install, I set up a local account with user name Dell, no password and then deleted my MS account.

@sethm1  If you type 'Sign-In options' (system settings) in the bottom left corner of your screen, do you have an option under 'require-sign in' with a drop down box that you can change to 'Never'?

r72019 · Answer

The photo/screen shot that was posted appears to show a local account as the only account.  That might be why the available options are different.
