Method 1 for autologon should be discouraged, the password is saved in clear form, and it doesn't work on some scenarios.

use autologon exe from sysinternals (now from MS), instead

It's a gui for the stock windows functionality, so what I wrote above is still applicable. Don't use it for autologon. Use autologon.exe instead.

P.S. Time to get rid of the bogus defaultuser0 (and its profile folder), also better to hide the personal information from the screenshot.

 

after reboot defaultuser0 are removed fyi

 

FYI
#1 just open your eyes and you will see the the defaultuser0 is in the list, just like I did

#2 As #1 proves this not always happen especially in 1607.

Not the end of the world, but some 70MB wasted, and a hypothetical unwanted additional attack surface.
