    When my laptop starts it asks me to put a password. Now i remember some time ago when I looked removing the password Windows told me I could do so but would lose access to some user services. Is there a way I can remove logging in with password and still keep all the same access to services or is password and pin number essential to all of this? Many thanks.

    Did you connect your Microsoft account to the login?

    Yes did look my Microsoft account to the login.... Still, I just find that it's silly to sign into my laptop when it's always at home. Is it possible to keep all the services and still be logged into my Microsoft account?

    You can enable automatic logon by pressing WIN + R keys, type netplwiz, clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and click Apply.

    Cool Thank you I have one question about this method, does this technique maintain access to all user and Microsoft services as before or does it relegate account to local user like in this picture?
