Issues to boot in to the desktop directly

[DereckW]

Hi all.
First of all I want to apologize for my bad English, I write using Google Tranalate.

After having changed PRE-Login screen (the ugly image that comes by default) following a tutorial on YouTube I have begun to have problems for windows to boot directly to the desktop (this is configured in this way) now, when the session starts, the lock screen appears first, and I must press the ENTER key to show my user (which does not have a password) and then press Enter again to take me to the desktop.

I have tried disabling the lock screen and enabling autologin and it does not work.

Any suggestions?

Hello Dereck, and welcome to Eight Forums.

Did you get any errors when using Option 1 in the tutorial below to setup netplwiz to automatically sign in to your account at startup?

Log On User Account Automatically at Windows 8 Startup

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
On many occasions I have used this forum and I always find solutions.

What you suggest I have already tried it and for some reason it does not work on my pc (try on another and if it works)

Is there a .reg file that forces the autologin?
On some occasion use a .bat that disabled unnecessary services and things, perhaps this has affected this function.

Disabling services can cause issues if you don't know exactly what it affects.

Just to verify, did you select your account in netplwiz, check the box, and leave the password fields empty since you don't have a password?

In addition, check the items in the yellow tip box at the top of the tutorial as well since netplwiz only covers at startup and not at wakeup or resume from screen saver.

I just installed Win-8.1/64/Pro to a new PC today.
I did not use a MS Login, and once the OS was installed I immediately installed the "Classic Shell".
Then the OS always boots up to the desktop. NO Problemo!
That's the way I always do it. Win-8.1 is a very simple OS to install.
