Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 Build 15063.447: Disable Login Password for Local Account after Update

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I disable the login password for a local Windows 10 account after an update removed the password-removal option?

Install Windows first with a Microsoft account, then switch the account to a local account; after that, the password can be turned off [#16580612] The thread’s solution was discovered after a clean Windows 10 install on a new SSD: installing directly with a local account made the “remove password” option disappear, but doing the Microsoft-account-to-local-account switch restored it [#16580612]

    Basically it should be unchecked -> apply, enter password and confirm. Login should work without a password.
