    Below is a screenshot of my options for the sign-in screen. I do not see how to turn it off.

      1. Click the Start menu and type “netplwiz.” The top result should be a program of the same name – click it to open.
      2. In the User Accounts screen that launches, untick the box that says “Users must enter a name and password to use this computer.”
      3 .Uncheck the box "User must use password etc.
      4 . Hit “Apply.”
      5. When prompted, re-enter your password to confirm the changes.
      6. Click “OK” once more. Your password will then be removed, and no need the to sign in now.

        Yes, I want to disable the sign-in screen. I've never used one on my desktop at home.
        Kburra is right. That works.

          I do not get the option to uncheck "Users must enter a name and password to use this computer" box [see screenshot]
