I am running Windows 10 on a Mac with Parallels. After I completed this installation, I rebooted my computer and launched Windows 10. After the startup page loaded, I was greeted with a "suspended" screen. When I proceeded, the next message asked me to enter my old password, and reset my password. When I installed Windows 10, I did not assign a password, so there is no way to proceed. For one, I do not want a login requirement every time I launch Windows 10...I just want it to load. How do I fix this nagging issue? Thanks!
An image from 'Windows 10 Suspended at login'. Windows 10 lock screen with a play button and 'Suspended' status displayed.

Hi Paul,

Can you try this please? Please check if Virtual Machine Configuration > Options > Applications > Pause windows is checked on the parallels settings.

Definitely not a Windows issue. Sounds like you set a password in Parallels

What happens if you press "Restore Defaults"?
