Windows 10 Challenge phase requested on every start up

[Tats_too]

Hi, someone tried to access my computer a couple of weeks ago now and I am now getting asked to complete a challenge phase every time I start up before I can enter my pin.


The fix was listed as ...

1. Press Windows key + R to launch the Run command.
2. Type netplwiz and press Enter.
3. On the User Accounts window, select your username and uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
4. Click Apply.
5. Type your Password twice and click OK.
6. Restart your PC and redo the steps in reverse to enable the sign in with password again.
7. Restart your PC again and see if the challenge phrase would still occur.

However maybe as I am administrator I am not being offered the option to uncheck users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
