How to disable auto login without booting the windows?

[orangpelupa]

Maybe from recovery or from another pc?

My issue is that my ssd have auto login to windows 10. But tomorrow I'll be bringing the ssd to a technician, and I don't want it to auto login.

If I can, I don't want to boot it first to disable auto login as I'll risk confusing windows 10's genuine activation thingy

I think windows has a build in feature for that kind of modifcations. Enable 'user must use a username/password to login' under netplwiz (start>run>netplwiz and find your username(s) ).

The problem is I don't want to boot it up. As I have bad history with windows activation for booting an ssd from a different computer.

Just the SSD with the W10 install right, not the entire pc? Its been awhile but i think you can flag the partition as non-bootable.

Yep, found something about that:

As an alternative you could clone the drive to another ssd (then you have a backup aswell) and deliver the ssd wiped clean. Why would you bring a sole ssd to a technician btw?

Case closed. I booted it up

To be transplanted to yet another pc. As I don't have time to do it myself as that yet another pc still need to be assembled and I want to lazy around lol.

Today I was planning to lazy around but my robot mop was broken, so I fixed it first (a nightmare to disassemble due to the sheer amount of screws). Then I forgot to setup a new Cctv...

Wait a sec! I still hadn't setup the Cctv.. Ugh... Can't just be lazy tomorrow then... Need to setup the Cctv.

Hopefully it will be light enough to be secured by double tapes... Otherwise I would need to use drills...

-_-

I want to lazy around in the weekend in forza horizoooooon

just encrypt your porn directory

ROFL. Btw the drive itself is weird. It was encrypted with bit locker but after I restored it from an image, it was not encrypted. But when I left it overnight, it became encrypted and windows refuse to decrypt it, saying it needs a newer windows version. But after reboot, it was not encrypted again. Very weird.

I wouldn't exactly say very weird from where the rest of us are standing. I'd it's more like, "very orangpelupa".
