Multiple User Login Screen Like Windows 7

I am already loathing my decision of taking the free upgrade from my old trustworthy
and no nonsense Win 7, but meh, what's done is done.

Anyway, as the title says, I need that option back of Windows 7, where you would be
oered with multiple user login screen. I am up for pretty long, so might not be
making myself clear, so explaining more. I have two accounts (oine accounts), A and
B, and when I turn on or Restart my desktop I want both the user account login
option on the login screen, NOT the stupid way it does now, by straightly logging into
the last accessed account.
I would like to do it without installing any additional software, if possible.
Thanks in advance.

Well it's not exactly a Windows 7 Welcome Screen, but......
All of your accounts on your Windows 10 Computer should show up in the bottom
left corner of the logon screen for your selection.

Umm, nah. Not happening like that. When I turn on my system it goes straight into
the last logged in user's account, it doesn't even show the other account anywhere.

I remember doing some registry code alteration for Win 8, but forgotten about it. Will
search later. Hope I'll get a reply here by then.
Thanks anyway.

The only time I don't see the options on the logon screen to select either of multiple
users, is when I use a Picture Password Login.
Both PIN and normal Password produces this.......

Well I don't use any password or PIN code or anything! I have recorded a video of the
issue (of which MS thinks as a feature, ROFL) but just no time or interest to upload it.

In any case, that issue seems like nothing now. Now I can't open my router's login
page, which is opened by typing 192.168.0.1. It's a Netgear DG834G by the way. The
page keeps loading itself and never ultimately loads! It's exactly how it reacted on Win
8 too. Probably will/ should go back to Win 7, unless there is a solution.
I don't see the point the MS' rebranding Windows 8 and trying to sell it under a new
label of Win 10! The shite Win 8 had its fans, there was no need really.

This is exactly what I like. Install a fresh OS, and then spend hours trying to x
problems/ bugs. I love this.
PS: Attached an image of how the page looks like when it's opened fully. Opened it
from my phone obviously!

Yeah, that is right all right. This is what happens when a group of dull headed people
are given a job to cook a OS.
In any case, you must use a password to disable that nonsense of auto user login, at
least that's what I do. I am using a one letter password. Excellent right?

Same issue. And, you've got to be kidding me. There is no option to set this like Win 7
without a password? Wow, just wow. You know, I was complaining to a coworker
earlier today about some software my company uses that is so terrible, lack of
usability, beta testing, etc. And, I had the audacity to compare to the "polished" stu
of the old days from companies like Microsoft. Spoke too soon. I'm speechless.

Of course there is an option to set Windows 10 without a password.

Agreed, I know you can set Win 10 login without applying a password. Not what I
meant. I should have been more clear. I apologize. Question was rhetorical. Anyway. I
found the answer. Involved registry modications.

Well I have my W10 machine with two accounts. If I set it to login with a password I
see the accounts at the bottom left and can select them. If I set to login with no
password then obviously I don't see the choice it just logs in. That seems correct to
me.

You may require a network with a few resources to be connected. You can make use
of the MAC address ltering and add one more than estimated layer of security to
your network. Every resource in the network has a distinctive MAC address. You can
turn the rewall option on when the router ships with this facility. If you have done
these things, then your network will be safe as awaited. You will be satised with an
easy way to use the IP address of a router and make your network as secure as
possible.
