PC Performance Tip: Automatically Logging Into Windows 8
Here is a quick registry tweak to allow your PC to automatically login to Windows 8 without needing to stop and enter your login credentials.
Open a Notepad Editor in Windows 8
Type this into the notepad file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"DefaultPassword"="Password"
"DefaultUsername"="Username"
Change Password to your password and DefaultUsername to your username
Save the file with the extension .reg and select All files from dropdown
Double-click on it to add the registry entry
Now when booting windows, it will automatically log you in.
Please Note: Before performing these tweaks, we recommend backing up your systems registry. To back up the Registry the easy way, simply open Control Panel, click System, and then click System protection on the left sidebar. Click the big Create button to have Windows walk you through the straightforward process of creating a System Restore Point — it's as easy as that.
Creating a System Repair Disk Can Save You Big Problems in the Future
If you use Windows 8 it's a good idea to create a system repair disc right away in case you run into problems booting the OS later on. Click Start > Control Panel > System Maintenance > Backup and Restore. In the left pane, click Create a System Repair Disc, and let Windows 8 build a bootable emergency disc. If the worst does happen then it could be the only way to get your PC running again.
