Once you get in use a PIN.. for example 1342
Many on the forum (Mostly older men) will know where I got that one from
(NOTE that is NOT my PIN)
Jeeze folks, get off the OPs back for not using a "password, a PIN, secret code, secret handshake, photo ID, perhaps their blood"..
Believe it or not, their are MANY ways to defeat those feeble attempts of "security" and there are times where there is no need for such measures.
A USB flash drive with Linux or even Windows PE can and will get you right past the Windows logon password. You can also remove the drive from the PC and using a external USB adapter be able to read EVERYTHING on that drive.. I have had to do that for forensic purposes on returned company PCs in order to get past passwords to determine if it was hardware failure or software failure of the company products.
Obviously the OP and their DW do not "want" or "need" a password on their PC, they did not setup a Password and something with the latest Windows update has messed with the PC settings that is now intermittently no longer logining on automatically without a password prompt. And now it takes several "attempts" at booting the PC to clear this issue.
They are attempting to correct the issue of this random logon screen showing up when booting..
Setting a password or pin will not "fix" their issue..
Some of use are not scared or needing to hide what we do on our PCs from others.
