Are you currently annoyed with the login screen and the frequent need to have your password entered in order to be granted access? This method will help you go directly to the login screen. To see how this is done via group policy, take a look at this article, and how Automatic login is enabled via the command prompt. Kindly refer to some of these guides: What are the benefits of Azure API Management, and how to create an API instance in Azure, Some Azure Hybrid use cases and benefits for production purposes, how to Add a User to the Sudoers List in Linux, and Azure Monitor: Performance and Diagnostics in Microsoft Cloud.

From the search menu, type Regedit and hit enter or double-click on it. If this prompts the UAC, simply select Yes as shown below.
