I did an Erase and Install of OS X 10.10.4 and upgraded to OS X 10.10.5 - all goes well.

Noticed OS X 10.10.5 is "Auto Logging" me into my account.

Have gone to "Security and Privacy" in System Preferences, unlocked with password but can not Enable "Disable Auto Login." This option is greyed out.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Any suggestions are welcome

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 21.5 inch, late 2012, 2.7ghz, 8 GB

This is handled from the "Login Options" portion of "Users and Groups" so you were in the vicinity of the solution.

Just change the "Automatic Login" pull-down to "Off" and you will have to log in after every reboot.

Enjoy.
