(Edit) Auto Login Windows 10

As the title says, can I execute a command while the PC is on the lock screen?
(Continue down to Auto Login)

@Chabetico, yes, but you won't see the result of the command until you unlock the screen.

Ok, I was thinking of doing this through NIRCMD to enter my PIN and unlock the PC, after the WoL
-
@Chabetico, nircmd can do a lot, but I would think Microsoft would prevent it because it would be a security issue. If you figure out how to do it, please let me know.

@Russ Ok, I'll let you know

@Russ I was unable to make TriggerCMD type in the PIN field, however I was able to disable it from asking for the password when the PC went into sleep mode and also automatically entering when turning on the PC.
If you want it is the following step by step to remove password from sleep mode or screen saver:Step 1. Windows Key+i > Accounts > Click sign-in options > Under Require sign-in select Never
Step 2. Windows Key+i > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver settings > Uncheck the box to On resume, display logon screen
Now to automatically log in when turning on the PC:
Step 1. Type netplwiz in Cortana Search box > Click netplwiz > Select your account > Uncheck Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer
Step 2. Windows Key+R > regedit > go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon > click edit > New > String Value > type DefaultPassword > enter > Right click on DefaultPassword > Modify > in value data enter your password for your Windows account (not the pin).
