Information

Automatically signing in the last interactive user after a system-initiated restart must be disabled.

GROUP ID: V-220859RULE ID: SV-220859r991591

Windows can be configured to automatically sign the user back in after a Windows Update restart. Some protections are in place to help ensure this is done in a secure fashion; however, disabling this will prevent the caching of credentials for this purpose and also ensure the user is aware of the restart.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Windows Logon Options >> 'Sign-in last interactive user automatically after a system-initiated restart'

to 'Disabled'.
