Uncheck the box that says “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” and click OK.

That basically means, no more annoying waiting time, and your system stays in a secured state until you login yourself.įirst of all, lets enable automatic logon for your Windows 8 account.

Using any of the methods shown in this post, you’re automatically logged into your Windows account and then auto locked as well. So here’s a solution, in fact 3 solutions, for you. This can be quite annoying and time consuming as well.

The other scenario, that is if you’ve not configured auto login, would be that you’ll have to manually login and wait while the system gets ready. The problem with this is that unless you remember to lock your PC, your account is accessible to all while you’re away. And when you comeback your PC is completely booted up, ready for you to start your work. If you have automatic logon enabled, you may turn on your computer and leave afterwards for other activities while post-logon start up items are started.
