Windows 10 Login

[downwith10]

Being a newbie, I'm not sure where to post this:
I want neither a Microsoft account nor a local account sign in. Converted from Windows 7 to 10 - was the worst mistake of my PC life! Don't remember creating an account - don't want one. I know, horrors! To heck with that - I just want to turn on my PC and go - no logins. Now Windows 10 stopped recognizing my login password and I had to change it. What's with that? Never mind - how do I opt out of any and all login requirements?
P.S. This is just one of a myriad complaints I have with this ad-ridden, privacy intrusive piece of dirt called an operating system.

Hi, welcome to the forums I moved the thread to the correct place.

I think this should still work: win + r > type in: netplwiz > you'll see an option 'users must enter...' > untick it and you should be good to go.

(or just open the startmenu and type in netplwiz)

Nope. After unclicking 'users must enter...' I got a secondary pop up window which asked for user name and password with the following message: "You can set up your computer so that users do not have to type a username and password to sign in. To do this, specify a user that will be automatically signed in below:
User name (gave what I think my PC user nameis )
password:
Confirm Password:
OK"
This is totally confusing and if I'm about to bypass user name and password, why do they need one?
I "x'd" out of that window and clicked "OK" in the primary window.
Unfortunately it just came back (after a reboot) with an unfamiliar screen looking for a user name and password and a message stating user name or password was incorrect.

I went back to netplwiz and reticked 'users must enter...' so that I am at least back to where I started.

Wow this should be a straight forward thing. If I happen to stumble across sth, I'll post it here
