Stop automatic login in Windows 10 Fall Update

On my Windows 10 Home pc I have two users, both without password. To disable the automatic login feature, the usual hack was to alter the registry and set Enabled to 1 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch. See for instance here: How to prevent automatic login of the last user in Windows 10?


This has been working for some time, but after the recent Fall Update, it no longer works, and the last user is automatically logged on again. Even when logging off before powering off the pc.


Does anyone know of a (new) workaround, preferably not involving passwords?
