    Hello,
    I have a problem to solve:
    - I need Windows 10 Home for every 10-20-30 Days to change the login password to the system.
    Does anyone know a way to solve this without the PRO version?
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    greetings :) .

    Welcome. This action will of course be possible only on local accounts, not on Microsoft accounts. Works on Win 7 and Win 8, and Win 10 should also be used in Home versions.

    Run the command line as an administrator .

    Command net accounts will display the current settings.

    To force password changes on ALL local accounts: wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires = True
    To disable forcing password changes on ALL local accounts: wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires = False
    To force password changes on Bob user: wmic UserAccount where Name = 'Bob' set PasswordExpires = True
    To disable enforcement on this user: wmic UserAccount where Name = 'Bob' set PasswordExpires = False

    By default (which is shown in the first command), the enforcing change is set every 42 days. To change (for all users) for 60 days: net accounts / maxpwage: 60

    And if I forgot my password is the ability to regain access to this account (Reset password)?

    In case of forcing change of password (eg every 30 days) only for BOB user, and not for all local users will it be possible?
    net accounts Bob / maxpwage: 30

    How does it look with the command to:
    - amount of saved passwords (after expiration) to the account?
    - Minimum password length?
    - Type of characters used to create a password - Small / large letters, numbers, special characters?

    Thank you for your help.

    Is there a problem for you to enter such a command and check? :)

    You're right, I'm talking stupidly! :)

    Yet how it looks with the command to:
    - amount of saved passwords (after expiration) to the account?
    - Minimum password length?
    - Type of characters used to create a password - Small / large letters, numbers, special characters?

    Thank you for your help.

    Ok, I've already figured out the Home version does not have this option: lusrmgr.msc
    I solved this through CMD - creating an account and config for passwords, etc.
    Thank you.

Topic summary

To enforce a password change every 10-30 days in Windows 10 Home without the Pro version, users can utilize the command line interface. The commands `wmic UserAccount set PasswordExpires = True` and `net accounts /maxpwage: [number]` can be employed to set password expiration policies for local accounts. The default expiration is set to 42 days, which can be adjusted as needed. However, the Home version lacks certain features like `lusrmgr.msc` for user management. Users can also inquire about password complexity requirements, saved password limits, and minimum password lengths, but these may not be fully configurable in the Home edition.
