Solved Logon surface question

[abc]

When I startup my surface, I always have to login to my Microsoft account..is there any way to set my surface to login automatically.

Very easy to do.
Not recommended, though, except if you have very restrictive access to your Surface. Otherwise, you are leaving your money and identity information out to tempt thieves.

STEP 1: Initially login to your System using the Username and Password as Administrator.
STEP 2: Click search either by swiping in from right or in search on Metro UI and type ‘netplwiz
STEP 3: Click on the search result ‘netplwiz’ and a new window will open.
STEP 4: Uncheck the Option “Use should enter the Username and Password to use this Computer”.
STEP 5: Windows opens and asks for “Username” and “Password”.
STEP 6: Click on the “Ok”.
STEP 7: Restart the Computer and you can see the changes.

As previously warned, I wouldn't recommend the auto-login in case you lose your SP3, or it stolen. What I did do though is set a PIN code so that I don't have to type in the password now, just a bunch of digits. Maybe you should try that to see if this will help rather than auto-login.

Same here, takes about a second to pop in my PIN.

I think I'll leave it alone. Not too concerned about security, but you just never know. Better safe than sorry I think.

Try the PIN though. Part of Windows 8/Windows 8.1/Windows 10.

Thanks. I did the pin# and it is so much better than having to type in the password every time I log on.
