Entering a password to login on Windows 10 is a secure method that provides an additional layer of security to protect your personal data, files and information from getting into wrong hands
If having to enter long and complex password every time to start your Windows 10 PC annoys you and you are the only person who has the access to the PC desktop, laptop or tablet, you can tweak Windows 10 system configurations to skip the lock screen for automatic login.
In this tutorial, we are going to walk your through the process of automatically sign in to Windows 10 via a Microsoft or local account, which will allow you to bypass the Windows 10 lock screen for quick startup.

Like we mentioned earlier, its important to remember that this leaves your PC vulnerable to unauthorized access. Therefore, skip password lock screen only when you have the physical access to Windows 10 device, your device doesn’t hold any private data, or when you are not using your device in public places.

You can also use Windows Hello to gain fast and secure access to Windows 10 device via fingerprint scanner or facial recognition tool.
