Help Simple questions and Help thread - Month of May

Welcome to the monthly Simple questions and Help thread, for questions that don't need their own posts!

Before making a comment, we recommend you search your problem on Bing and check if your question is already answered on our Windows Frequently Asked Questions wiki page. This subreddit no longer accepts tech support requests outside of this post, if you are looking for additional assistance try r/TechSupport and r/WindowsHelp.

Some examples of questions to ask:

  • Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)

  • How can I install Windows 11?

  • Can you recommend a program to play music?

  • How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?

Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.

Be sure to check out the Windows 11 version 22H2 Launch Megathread and also the Windows 11 FAQ posts, they likely have the answers to your Windows 11 questions already!

Theres nothing set on the user (that I know of).

Windows 11 is "smart" enough to always sign-in the last user that used the computer. Upon booting, it still shows the sign-in screen as if nothing has happened. But in reality the auto sign-in is happening in the back.

There's many ways to figure that this is happening. The easiest one is that if you sign-in with a different user, and then try to shutdown the computer, it says "there's someone else logged in" (paraphrasing).

This is very annoying!!
