How to disable Adminstrator login on Windows 10 startup??

<< < (3/4) > >>

Boggin:
If you aren't logged in with the local admin account and you do something that requires that authorisation, then you will be prompted for the password or UAC.

This is why it is advised not to use just the local admin account should someone gain control of your computer - but I don't bother, I just have the single built in admin account and not password protected.

Because I'm only using the single admin account without a password, I get straight to my desktop on boot and when I want to install anything, I'm presented with the UAC which I just have to click on Yes.

Delete those two accounts using your admin account, remove the password and set up your accounts again without passwords.

Before I goes further and want to make sure which two accounts I delete? You mean the first two on message #5 with " John " and " Administrator ".

Let me know then I will delete then.

Boggin:
The two to delete are your User account and the ASP.NET one which are Nos 1 and 3 in your post.

You use the Admin one to do that as well as for anything that invokes the UAC.

Decided to go back to factory settings of my desktop and now all is good to use.

Thank you for your help with this above.

Also no more administrators to log in now just my single account. But have to update all needs for Windows 10.

Boggin:
Yes - that's the problem with a factory reset but it gives you a clean slate to work with.
