Hello
I hope there are some Comcast users here.

I talked my sister- in-law to purchasing a new DELL with Windows 10.. She had it set up to open after she put in her 4 digit code. Yesterday after a several hour pause in using the computer her code wouldn't work. She had to put in her Microsoft password to open Windows 10. What happened?.
I have an application that needs to be launched automatically upon reboot.
The application has login and password, so I need to have a script to pass out the login info.
Please let me know if we can do it with .bat script and if you have an example.
Appreciate it!

my teenager son learned some tricks to log into Windows 10 without any password. He used the trick and installed and played games on my PC while I was at work. I can see the login in event viewer.
How can I secure my PC so he can't break in and mess up my system?
Thanks,
