Windows 10 (or 8 and above) remove password prompt every time I boot up.

Windows 8 and 10 have this annoying "feature" of always prompting you for your password, and not allowing auto login on boot.

Most users won't have an issue with this, but others really don't care for it on their laptop PC or shared Desktop.

The solution is to tell windows to memorize a user/password for auto-login:

Win+R (run)
netplwiz (enter)

Unckeck the option:
Fill in your user name and password one last time:

You're wellcome.

NOTE

IF you for some reason have to reset or change your Microsoft password, you'll start getting logon errors until you repeat this process and memorize the new password.
