I am running Windows 10 Pro on an Intel ComputeStick (Mod # STK1AW32SC). Ideally, I would like to automatically log into a standard user account (an Assigned Access account for running just one app) whenever it restarts or boots, such as when there is a power outage.
I have found this documentation, however, I am confused about step 3. In \Winlogon I see two more directories GPExtensions and VolatileUserMgrKey, as well as two files?: AlternateShells and AutoLogonChecked.
I do not see the ones the documentation says: AutoAdminLogon, DefaultUserName or DefaultPassword.
I've never done this before so I don't want to screw anything up, thanks!
For reference I'm pretty sure this Windows version is 32 bit.

If anyone in the future needs an answer to this it is actually really simple.
In Run, open the netplwiz application, choose the User Name that you would like auto-login to apply to, and finally, uncheck the box that states: "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer".
Click OK and restart computer to test.
I found a very descriptive article on enabling auto-login on Windows 10. This also makes use of the SysInternal's Autologin utility.
Can you try this and see if it helps for you:
