The steps to have this done is very straight forward using the FrontFace Lockdown Tool. Please esee How to download and use Windows SysInternals tools locally, how to Install Sysinternals from the Microsoft Store, What is System Monitor and how to install and use it, and how to enable Automatic Logon on Windows 10.

Firstly ensure the right user account is selected as shown below.

– Enter the desired file name to save and the right location to save the file.

User Profile

Note: Before proceeding with the next steps, ensure the following prerequisites are met.
