False Vulnerability Warning About Automatic Sign On After Restart. Any Help?

Alan Jordan

 Bit Defender keeps warning me of a Vulnerability as follows:-

“With automatic sign on after restart, your device saves the Windows credentials of the user last logged in and keeps them automatically logged in after a device restart. This could pose a risk to your privacy, as your data and device could be exposed to prying eyes in certain circumstances. We recommend you disable auto logins after the automatic restart to enhance your data's security and your privacy”.

However, in fact whenever my PC does a restart for any reason, I always have to enter my Password to sign in. What is going on, and is there anyway I can get rid of what appears to be a False Warning?
