There are many reasons why users want to set up automatic login. This may be a reduction in system boot time, or simply tired of constantly typing some characters.

The question is how to speed up the login, I did everything according to the instructions, but everything is the same for me (the initial load is fast, but the system slows down at the entrance to the desktop). Please help and better send further instructions by e-mail ( [email protected]).

Ahill, You need to adjust the startup of the system - see which programs start up with Windows 7 and disable unnecessary ones.

Could you write a list of Windows 7 services that should not be disabled (and why does ALCMTR.exe run it), thanks in advance!

"Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"

When this article was written, only the English beta version of Windows 7 was available. In the Russian version of Windows 7, the phrase "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is translated as "Require username and password".

UPD: Now all the necessary changes have been made to the article. Screenshots added. Thank you for your comment.

I meant that I don’t have this phrase - “Require username and password” !!!

in addition - version 6.1.7201 is installed

And if several users are installed on the computer, but one person practically uses it. Phrases - "Require username and password" no.

What can be done?

In XP, I set automatic login through various programs

Basil, welcome to Windows 7 - Impressions and Facts!

To reset your password, go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Your Account. Click "Change your password". In the "Current password" field, enter the password with which you are now authorized when you start Windows 7. Do not enter anything in the "New password" and "Confirmation" fields and click "Save". On Windows 7, this removes the password, just like it did on XP. No additional software is required.

In addition, Windows 7 introduced the ability to simply remove the login password. Open Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Your Account. Click "Remove your password". Enter the current password and confirm its deletion.

The article has been updated. Thanks!

I still don't have a login password. But when I log in (I work on a working computer and it is connected to the network), a window still appears with my name and the requirement to press the password. And I just have to press a button to login further.

Previously, on XP, I logged in automatically.

1. Parental control disabled? Disable if enabled (wherever enabled).

2. In Services in the Windows 7 Control Panel, find User Profile Service. On the tab Login set "With a system account", without checkmarks (the highest position). Look at other services that affect the login - whether the login is set to "With system account" everywhere. In XP, as I remember, the authorization window instead of the usual "Welcome" appeared after installing NET Framework 2, and after setting up the services, automatic login could be returned.

Please clarify what is "parental control" and how to disable it?

The User Profile Service could not be found on my computer.

Went through "services"

Found everything. Everything is installed correctly, but automatic login does not work at all

Windows 7 boots in 55 seconds, despite the fact that Windows is currently installed, and neither is on it.
