Way 2. Edit Registry to Enable Windows 11 Auto Login

Note: Before you edit Windows registry, it’s highly advised you back up Windows Registry first. In case something goes wrong, you can easily restore Windows Registry to a previous setting. Check: How to backup and restore Windows Registry.

1. Press Windows + R, type regedit in the Run dialog, and press Enter to open Windows Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
3. Right-click Winlogon and click New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value AutoAdminLogon.
4. Double-click AutoAdminLogon and set its value to 1.
5. Next, you can right-click Winlogon and click New -> String Value. Name the new value DefaultUserName. Double-click the value and input your user name under Value data. Click OK.
6. Then you can right-click Winlogon again and click New -> String Value. Name the new value DefaultPassword. Enter your user account password under Value data and click OK.

In this way, it will disable the login requirement on your Windows 11 computer and you can log in to your system without password.

If you want to change the settings back to ask for password again, you can follow the same operation above to delete the created AutoAdminLogon, DefaultUserName, and DefaultPassword keys in Windows Registry Editor.
