Information

Windows Server 2022 must disable automatically signing in the last interactive user after a system-initiated restart.

GROUP ID: V-254376
RULE ID: SV-254376r991591

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 and lock last interactive user automatically after a restart to 'Disabled'
