Default bypassing initial window bootup

Hi, suddenly my computer has started bypassing the initial window on bootup
where you click the user name. Although me and my husband share the same and
clicking this is just a formality, it seems strange and I'd like to put it
back to where it was! Any suggestions please?

Thanks very much.

Hi,

Did one of you mess with TweakUI and set the autologon?

Otherwise, Click start/run, type "control userpasswords2" (without the
quotes) and click ok. Check the box requiring a username and password, click
apply/ok.

Thanks, I tried what you suggested but it didn't make any difference.
Usually when I've been away from the computer for a while, this screen comes
up and I have to click back on but not now. I have also tried re-starting.
Any thoughts please?

Many thanks
