Recently, one of our employee has left his computer in the customer's office, which could possibly leak some information from that device(Thankfully, it didn't happened). Right now, all of our computer has enabled auto login, and it's almost a hundred. So, I've been wondering if it's possible to disable it by using Group Policy Editor. Our server is running Windows server 2016.
All of the computer's auto-login was enabled via regedit one by one, so if we could disable/delete it by using gpedit, it'd be better than disabling/deleting it one by one.
Thanks in advance.

Registry keys involved in auto logon in Windows are documented here:

You can deploy a Group Policy Preference (in Computer Configuration) to delete these values:
