How can I boot my Windows 10 PC directly to my desktop upon startup? SOLVED! THANKS!

I've recently installed a new LG monitor onto my Windows 10 Pro 64 PC. Previously, I booted directly onto my desktop upon startup. Now, every time I start up, it stops at a Windows picture and asks me for my Windows account password. I'd like to skip the password, and just boot directly to the desktop, like before.

I have no security issues with doing this.

I spoke with Windows support. They seemed to have a hard time comprehending what I was trying to do. Then they wanted to steer me into some paid plan. This is not some huge Silicon Valley miracle genius team issue. I just want to boot to my desktop when I push the start button, just like I've been doing for years.

Anyone got any tips?

4. Thanks- I was able to use the netplwiz solution- no registry re-editing necessary.
