Take full admin control and just boot into OS no log-in needed
If your gear gets nicked login/ passwords protect nothing
Depends if you willing to start from scratch
First off I would do a image of existing OS, i mean if you want to keep it or restore it in case of problems doing this ...
Second download the latest Media Creation Tool for build 1803
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10
Create a new USB install
Latest version tool gives you a up to date copy of windows ergo there is no updates to get other then a AV/Defender update ..maybe
Also you can disconnect internet, skip validation for now, pause updates,
turn off auto hardware update then use your drivers, do VCBasic, directX
as well
Make sure hardware updates is still off, go online, validate your OS then Pause updates
When you get proper setup do a image including system partitons
