How to Enable or Disable Auto Login After Windows Update in Windows 11 [Tutorial]

Many windows users prefer to protect their Microsoft account by blocking the PC access with the help of a secure password or a 4 digit PIN. So, if you or another user wants to access your PC, would have to enter the PIN or the password to gain access to your account and your PC. In the same way, when you want to install a Windows Update and your PC restarts to apply the update, you reach the Windows login screen, where you will have to enter the PIN or the password to get access.

Unless you have set your Windows 11/10 to automatically log you in, the operating system will ask you for a password to log in. Using a password for logging in is a great way to protect your computer from unauthorized access. Even after you update your Windows OS, on a restart, the computer will ask you to sign in. But Windows 11/10 has introduced a new setting that lets you bypass the login screen and lets you log in automatically in Windows 11/10 after Windows Update. Let us see how to do it.

Issues addressed in this tutorial:
windows 11 update after login black screen
windows 10 can't login after update
windows 11 login problem after update
windows 11 unable to login after update

When you first set up a new PC with Windows 11, you create a user account which is set by default to log in automatically at startup. This likely isn’t a problem if you’re at home all the time, but if you have a laptop this becomes a serious security risk. Especially if you travel with your laptop.
