Unattended reboot password is logging user on automatically even though logmein session ended.

Hi all

 

I recently connected to a Windows 10 Enterprise machine that is on the domain. I captured the persons password so that i could perform unattended reboots.

 

Since closing the session, every time the person reboots their laptop, Windows logs them on automatically without them having to enter a password.

 

I deleted the LogmeIn files in C:\Program Files (x86) and also in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local and stopped any logmein services but the same thing occours.

 

Any ideas?

    Hi All

     

    Incase anyone is curious of the solution:

     

    Basically AutoAdminLogon was left set as 1. Changing it back to 0 stopped the account automatically logging back in. I assume LogMeIn changes this setting and is supposed to revert it back. Perhaps the Windows Update interfered with this.

     

    Disable AutoLogon

    Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    Value: AutoAdminLogon (REG_SZ)
    Data: 0 (disabled)
