2 Ways to Automatically Skip Windows 10 Login Screen with Password

By default, Windows 10 system requires password to login. This is a standard security mechanism to only allow authorized users to access the system. However if you are the only person who uses the computer for home use (like internet browsing, media), you can try to skip Windows 10 login screen. So when you start the computer, login screen is bypassed and you enjoy fast Windows 10 startup. This greatly improves the Windows loading speed, however it decreases the overall security (it shouldn't matter if only trusted persons have access to your computer).

Removing the Windows 10 login screen may not a very secure idea. However, if you use your computer at home or just as a media station for movies, why not remove the password and speed up access to your computer?

It is worth noting that despite all the security features introduced by Microsoft in Windows 10, such as PIN CODE or biometric authentication, you can still bypass these security features by using the KON-BOOT program. The KON-BOOT tool allows you to bypass Windows 10 login screen and log into the system without knowing the password. This is especially useful when you have forgotten your password and want to access files on your computer. If you forgot login password KON-BOOT is your best bet.

Here are three ways for you to skip or bypass Windows 10 login screen automatically.
