MSN will not sign in automatically

What I mean by "New Profile" is create another Windows User Account on the
computer... and then check if the issue occurs on the new user account.
Click START -> RUN
in the RUN dialogue box type "control userpasswords"
that will open your "User Accounts" window.
There you have an option to "Create a New User"

Check if this method works.. lemme know

Ok follow that. But at the moment I don't have any users that come up when
booting and it just loads straight into my account. I don't want to have to
select a user everytime I bootup as that takes another operation and is a
pain when you are the only one using the computer. If I do create another
user can I delete that person later and will windows then just boot without
the "user" prompt?

Hmmm... Well In case the issue is resolved on the new windows profile, then I
would say move all your data and settings to the new profile and delete the
old one... That way you would only have 1 profile & login to windows without
having to clisk any user tile...

Well?? Did that solve the problem?
I am having the very same problem but I believe that it started soon after I
installed
Advanced system care which came with iObit. I figured that since this
program was cleaning up my PC it might have been responsible for removing all
passwords when I shut down thus everytime I log on I have to enter my email,
ID & password for every application.
I have not been able to fix this. I had not downloaded iObit on my laptop &
it is signing me in normally.
Any idea how to fix this annoying problem?

I was doing a google search to find out why my msn was signing me automatically. While reading the posts here, I decided to go back and check my settings. I had the automatic box checked in the options part of msn but then I double checked the sign in page. There I found where the username and password were marked but not the automatic sign in. I know it seems silly but is yours marked in both places. Sometimes the simplest thing is what we have overlooked. Hope it helps
