1459730 2019-04-02 07:00:00 Have just installed the Win-10, 1809 (17763.379) and am now asked for a (Windows) password each time I turn on the computer. It works as normal once the password is entered.
I have never needed to use a password to sign-in before.
How can I delete and stop this requirement every time I open this computer?
Thanks in advance. Peter.

Everything will still be there (your data /Programs), the only thing is any Microsoft apps you have to sign into again, BUT when that happens look for the small writing, to only sign into Microsoft apps .

Then if you want to not require a password when the PC goes to sleep in power options>edit plan settings > advanced power settings you can disable the need for a password on wakeup.

Wainui's method is easier and probably more secure though. I think this way does still ask for a password to buy apps from the store but it leaves most things wide open for anyone who has the PC.
