I recently installed windows 10 and on the machine there are two accounts - let's call them u1 & u2. U1 is password protected and u2 is not. By default windows 10 auto logs in to the last user who logged off.

So, if u1 is last logged off, the next time the pc is started, it will stop at the welcome screen as it requires a password to log in u1. But if u2 is the last one, it will directly log in to the u2 desktop, as it does not require a password.

Me being u1, I find it very annoying to have to log out of u2 and log back into u1, every time I start my pc, if u2 was the last logged off user. Is there any way to avoid this, short of adding a password to u2 ??

This is a quick and easy fix:

Log into your computer then right-click on the Start button and select "Run." Type "netplwiz" and hit enter. This will bring up the User Account Window.

In this Admin tool, you can delete or add accounts which have or don't have a password requirement. Create a password through this method (and add the account if needed). Keep the box checked so that users must enter a username and password to use this computer. Don't forget to click "apply" at the bottom.

Restart your PC and they should both need the passwords you've created to sign in. The GUI is simple and easy to follow.
