How to Enable the Missing Manual Login Option By Editing the Registry
Alternatively, you can manually edit the registry to restore the missing login option. However, it’s recommended users try the method above first. If that doesn’t do the trick, edit the registry as follows.
- Bring up the Power User menu (you can access it with its special Win + X hotkey).
- Select Run from the menu.
- Open the Registry Editor by entering its regedit Run command and clicking OK.
- Navigate to a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device key within the Registry Editor.
- Select the Device key within the left navigation pane.
- Double-click the Device key’s DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion DWORD.
- Erase the number in the Value data box. Then input 0 there to replace the deleted value.
- Click OK to save the new value.
Finally run netplwiz
