I've used the tool from Sys Internals in the past to set auto login - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

You can have Windows auto-login to a local or domain account with a simple registry setting:

The same mechanism works for Windows 7, 10, and 11. If you're having your display screen turn off at night and turn back on in the morning, I'm not sure how well Windows handles power-offs from the mains these days. You might want to have a schedualed task do a Windows shutdown before you have a timer switch cut the mains power.

The Sysinternals tool from MS automates the registry settings and encrypts the password in the registry
