Jenkins Problem Overview

I don't know Jenkins at all. I want to install Jenkins on Windows 10. I downloaded the installer and ran it, but I have a problem. I don't know what to enter in the "Account" and "Password" fields on the "Service Logon Credentials" stage.

Screen of where I got stuck - Service Logon Credentials

if I use the username and password of my Windows account(with administrator privileges) the following information is displayed:

When installing a service to run under a domain user account, the account must have the right to logon as a service. This logon permission applies strictly to the local computer and must be granted in the Local Security Policy. Perform the following to edit the Local Security Policy of the computer you want to define the ‘logon as a service’ permission:

  1. Logon to the computer with administrative privileges.
  2. Open the ‘Administrative Tools’ and open the ‘Local Security Policy’
  3. Expand ‘Local Policy’ and click on ‘User Rights Assignment’
  4. In the right pane, right-click ‘Log on as a service’ and select properties.
  5. Click on the ‘Add User or Group…’ button to add the new user.
  6. In the ‘Select Users or Groups’ dialogue, find the user you wish to enter and click ‘OK’
  7. Click ‘OK’ in the ‘Log on as a service Properties’ to save changes.

Then try again with the added user.

Follow Chanaka Karunarathne's answer, just in the 'enter the object name to select' section enter your PC's user name. If you do not know what is your user name then just open a command prompt and run 'whoami'.

If you are a windows 10 home user, you need to download and install GPEdit.msc in Windows 10 Home using PowerShell script before you can use "Local Security Policy". you can download it from here.

I was be able to follow <https://stackoverflow.com/users/4309588/chanaka-karunarathne>'s suggestion, but when it went to the next step, I tried to enter my "admin"(aka laptop login credentials), in my case I usually login with the 4-digit code to my Windows; and even if I use the password associated with the account, it would be my email as username and it's windows password as password, but I have setup two-step authentication for my email as well. it would not work.

I ended up username + 4 digit pass-code would not work on this username(email address) + password would not work as well (due to the MFA)

I don't know why it had to be this difficult to login to Jenkins (or not sure if I should be upset about myself for setting up MFA for my email :) )

@elysium You can solve such problem by switching from Microsoft Account to Local Account for your computer. On assuming that your computer is similar to mine, you can navigate as follows;

Press/Click the Microsoft Windows tab on your keyboard. Navigate to your profile picture and click on "Change Account Settings" Navigate to Log in with Local Account instead and make the switch from Microsoft Account to Local Account.

Follow @Chanaka Karunarathne 's instructions. If you cannot find Local Security Policy, Go to search and type winver to confirm if you are using either of this OS versions ; Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Education, Windows 10 Pro Edu, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Pro Workstation) otherwise Windows 10 Home lucks Local Security Policy, atleast for my case.

Alternatively, as mentioned in some previous comments here, to enable Group policy in Windows 10 Home, download a from here, right click on it run as administrator. Press Window Key + R, type gpedit.msc to check if Group policy has been enabled as described in this majorgeeks youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wkgwEhtqdI&ab_channel=majorgeeks)
