How to Enable Auto Login on Windows 11

Enable the Option to Bypass Sign-in

Windows 11 still supports automatic sign-in — the option is just disabled by default. We'll need to use the Registry Editor (Regedit) to tweak a few things to enable it again. Alternatively, you can just download and use the registry key we provide, "Enable_Automatic_Login_Option.zip," in the next section. It'll handle everything automatically.

The Windows Registry is essential to the functioning of the Windows 11 operating system and most applications you will ever install. You need to be careful when you're editing the registry, since an incorrectly deleted or changed value can result in severe errors or even an inoperable PC. You should familiarize yourself a bit with the Windows Registry before proceeding if you're not familiar with it already.

Click the Start button, type "regedit" into the search bar, then hit Enter or click "Open."

Navigate to the following address by pasting it into Regedit's address bar:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device

Double-click the DWORD named "DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion," change the Value Data from "2" to "0", then click "OK."

Changing the value from 2 to 0 is what enables automatic login. Our work on the registry is done, and you can close Regedit
