I post on a couple of tech support forums, but I also wanted to get some real world advice from people I know and respect.
People like me who may struggle with the same issues.

I've been on Windows 10(upgrade) for about a year now...surviving.
This past week, I've had to deal with some computer issues, which eventually led to me buying a new Motherboard and CPU,
and swapping around some harddrives.
Of course, I had to do a fresh install of Win 10, so it thankfully cleaned up a lot of Windows issues too.

Anyway, I'm currently working on two Windows issues/fixes.

The first happened today, when my PC asked me about upgrading to Win 11.
I guess it had gone ahead and downloaded the update and was ready to install.
Something I don't want.

I've already heard a lot of negative things about Win 11 and those who have installed it, have quickly rolled back to Win 10.
I also hate the Windows nags...something I thought we got rid of years ago!

So anyway, I tried the method (notepad file attached below) which I found on the Microsoft Community Forums,
and it worked perfectly to stop the attempt to upgrade to Win 11
and removed the nag icon in my lower right task bar.

.................

My other issue is a long standing one:
stopping the Sign-In step on boot up of my PC.
Like many, I am the only one with access to this computer, and I hate having to sign in every time I use it.

I've tried every method available (that I know of) and nothing works.
Has anyone else found a successful way of stopping this?

Windows - Settings - Acounts - Sign In Options ...
- you can choose to have alternate sign in options (other than your Microsoft Account credentials)
- you can choose whether you have to sign in to you MS Acct after any time period.
Neither of these work to fix my problem.

I've also tried the Run-netplwiz steps, which takes you to User Account controls.
Supposedly you can uncheck the sign-in.
Unfortunately I see no option to turn off the Sign In steps.

Anyone got a fix for this that works?
