Autologon
Enables you to easily configure Windows’ built-in autologon mechanism.
winget install --id=Microsoft.Sysinternals.Autologon -eDescription
Autologon enables you to easily configure Windows’ built-in autologon mechanism. Instead of waiting for a user to enter their name and password, Windows uses the credentials you enter with Autologon, which are encrypted in the Registry, to log on the specified user automatically. [!WARNING] Although the password is encrypted in the registry as an LSA secret, a user with administrative rights can easily retrieve and decrypt it. (For more information see Protecting the Automatic Logon Password) Autologon is easy enough to use. Just run autologon.exe, fill in the dialog, and hit Enable. The next time the system starts, Windows will try to use the entered credentials to log on the user at the console. Note that Autologon does not verify the submitted credentials, nor does it verify that the specified user account is allowed to log on to the computer. To turn off auto-logon, hit Disable. Also, if the shift key is held down before the system performs an autologon, the autologon will be disabled for that logon. You can also pass the username, domain and password as command-line arguments: autologon user domain password Note: When Exchange ActiveSync password restrictions are in place, Windows will not process the autologon configuration.
Autologon is available through winget as package ID Microsoft.Sysinternals.Autologon, with version 3.10. Use the install command above to set it up on Windows without downloading a separate installer manually.
