• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Windows is pissing me off. My pc (gaming or backup) hosts my jellyfin collection and the service. Monthly, or even more often, Windows will restart which I assume is for an update. But sometimes I feel like it wants to restart just to fuck with me. Anyways, when it does, it goes to the login screen where it forces me to put in my password. I've already tried to turn this off, but to no avail. Because once you hit the desktop, all my apps (jellyfin included) start to auto-turn on and everything is fine. BUT until you login, jellyfin remains offline. No warning or notification either

Troubleshoots:
1. Adjusting Additional Sign-In Settings
If Windows still prompts you for a password or PIN when waking up from sleep mode, you must change your security preferences. [1]
    • Open Settings from your Start menu.
    • Go to Accounts and select Sign-in options.
    • Locate Additional settings.
    • Set "If you have been away, when should Windows require you to sign in again?" to Never.
    • Turn off the toggle for "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device". [1, 2, 3, 4]

2. Removing a PIN or Password Completely
If you use a Windows Hello PIN and want to delete it entirely so it stops forcing security checks: [1]
    • Go back to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.
    • Click on Windows Hello PIN and select Remove.
    • Type your Microsoft account password or local password to verify and finish the removal. [1]

3. Reg edit
--Can't remember the code, but it was basically making some value 0 or 2. Tried both. neither worked
 
Ideally, you should be setting up Jellyfin as a service so it isn't tied to user login. One option is by using Task Scheduler which I use for some other programs due to Windows doing whatever it wants regardless of its own settings.
A quick tutorial (I don't endorse it, it is just the first one I found) here.
 
jellyfin specifically recommends not to use it as a service. Are you saying we can? Just going by what the install options told me

still, even JFaas wouldn't fix other apps from loading up that I need. Basically just go straight to desktop
 
The best way is to not use Windows (home/pro) as a server. But I do understand not wanting a separate system for everything.
 
run netplwiz and untick that box, it should prompt for an account/pin/pw and should sign in automattically.

netplwiz doesn't have that box

weird...

was this the regedit you tried:
add it and the box should show up

Disable Passwordless Sign-In via Registry Editor
  1. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PasswordLess\Device.
  3. Locate the DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion key. If it doesn’t exist, create it: Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it DevicePasswordLessBuildVersion.
  4. Double-click the key and set its Value data to 0.
  5. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
 
Going passwordless isn't a good idea since UAC is bound to such. Running Jellyfin as a service as specified above is the best way go.

OR you could go with a Linux or Windows VM for Jellyfin specifically.

yep, did that a few times, no dice.

So people getting hooked up on jellyfin are ignoring other apps that need to continue working.

The autologin script works perfectly. I have repeatedly restarted, logs in, and everything comes up.
 
not sure if you are using a MS account or local account, but I think you need to have a local account to skip having a password or pin to login into Windows.
 
Yeh, was why I asked, highly doubt MS would let you login to the PC with a Microsoft account and NOT need the password
 
This is probably not going to be helpful.... chntpw.

Haven't used it in awhile. If you follow this line of thinking do your research.

A few years ago I had an aunt that was driving me nuts calling me every couple weeks cause she forgot her windows password. I would even write it down, she would loose it... I wrote it down once and kept it and somehow she changed her password and then forgot it.

Every time I would boot a Linux key, run chntpw and reset her password. Eventually I just blanked it so she had no password anymore. I know super not secure. BUT you know what she has never called again. lol (least not about her password for windows) No idea if this works with windows 11. Thankfully the few family members that used to call me a lot to clean up their windows or reset their passwords. They are now Mac users, or are on Linux.
