    Hi,
    When I run Parallels from my Mac Windows 10 is automatically launched and logs me on automatically as the administrator account. However, I have subsequently set up another user on Windows 10 and this is the one that I would usually like to log on with. Currently, I have to allow the ADMIN auto login and then sign this user out and then log on with the other user account.

    Please, can someone advise how I can shortcut this e.g. prevent the auto login from Parallels or force the Welcome Screen to be shown so that I can select which user I would like to log into Windows with?

    Thanks, Craig

    Hi CraigH4
    Please open a Command Prompt from your administrator account. Type: netplwiz> this will bring up a pop up window.
    from here you can change user password or by checking the box make it that a user must use a password . 2017-03-08 07.56.31 pm.jpg
