When the user turns on the device, he’ll not need to enter the account password, instead he can use Windows Hello functionality to sign in to his user account. Newer versions of Windows 10 come with a new Passwordless sign-in feature ( More Info) which allows users to setup Windows Hello Face, fingerprint or PIN instead of traditional password. Many Windows 10 users can access the checkbox without any issue.įollowing screenshot shows the checkbox is present and missing in Windows 10 devices:Īfter receiving users emails regarding this issue, I started investigating the issue and found the culprit. Surprisingly the problem occurs to some users only. When the user runs “control userpasswords2” or “netplwiz” commands, the checkbox is missing in these programs. The latest Windows 10 version 2004 (or May 2020 Update) doesn’t show the required “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” checkbox to some selected users. The problem started when Microsoft released version 2004 of Windows 10 operating system.
