Testing Windows 11 in a VM, I saw that this checkbox had been wiped out, presumably by a Windows Update. Your reg script is invaluable because without this checkbox, I wouldn't know how to make a newly created user the default login. It's by checking this box > apply > unchecking > apply that triggers Windows to use the highlighted user in "control userpasswords2" as the default user to login with. Great stuff luckylittle. An important solution!
