While logged into your computer, pull up the Run window by pressing the Windows key + R key. Then, type netplwiz into the field and press OK.
Uncheck the box located next to Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
Click the OK button toward the bottom of the window. This will prompt an automatically sign-in box to appear. Enter your username and the new password you created earlier into the fields provided.
Click OK and choose to restart your computer.
OP said they do not have a password setup.
W10 is supposed to ignore and automatically login with the first and default user.
It is possible the user must enter password may have gotten checked, if this is the case, I would think it would be asking for the password everytime.
It is also possible that the default user profile may have been corrupted.
In the case of no password, just try an Enter and see if logon completes..
In the case of multiple user profiles on the same PC, those may have gotten scrambled with the update..
Sounds like a bug, er "feature" in the latest update :M
OP, if you are not doing backups via imaging, I would highly recommend you do so. Image backups give you a fighting chance if a updates makes scrambled eggs out of your system.
A 1 TB external drive right now is under $50 and is a cheap way to protect your Win10 computer from MS's own versions of a virus (updates).
There are free hard driving image software programs available, Macrium free, Acronis may have a free version also.
Imaging software makes a compressed backup file which can be used to restore your PC.
If what Latner mentioned does not work, I would recommend checking the Win10 forums (not part of this forum)for assistance..

Something else to consider, MS has relaxed the forced updates some, in some versions this can be deferred for 30 days or more. I would highly recommend deferring the updates. This allows some time for MS to recall and fix their mistakes before your computer downloads and installs a time bomb bad update.
