Automatic application login

We are experimenting with various applications in Windows 10. But there is one stubborn application that when you start it, the login window pops up as usual, but for some reason when I click in the password field and I start typing the password nothing shows in the box, UNLESS I CLICK SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX on the desktop, then it suddenly appears. I've tried adjusting resolution, dpi and compatibility setting with no resolutions. So, if I could run either a batch file or vbscript to automatically start the application and login, I can avoid this annoying issue. Any help would be appreciate.

Or better yet have the script prompt for the credentials , then automatically plug into the application to keep security in place.

I was experimenting with a free macro recorder, but can't find one that will run the script automatically when clicking on it. Seem that you have to open the macro first, then press play. Do you know of any macro recorders that will play automatically when clicked?
No, I don't use those.
AutoIT is very popular. What I used years ago, which was simply recording mouse movement and clicks was ghost mouse - maybe it can do keyboard presses, too.
schmad01, any news for us? Time to close this?
