Question disabling lock screen

[rebal79]

On win 10, how do u disable the lock screen.

You can try the Autologon tool: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

Otherwise you'd have to do some fun things in Windows's more advanced configuration areas: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3539-sign-user-account-automatically-windows-10-startup.html

Keep in mind this makes your computer potentially less secure.

Automatically signing in is one thing.

Disabling a security setting is another.

And there should be no need for any registry edits. Registry edits are a last resort and should only be attempted after a full system and registry backup.

To disable the lock screen you must have the necessary admin rights to disable the lock screen for yourself or for another user account over which you have admin rights.

Type "Lock screen settings" in the oval shaped Search box normally located in the lower left screen corner.

If you have the applicable rights then you should be able to disable lock screen.

Note the January 14th post by EmilyS726 and the use of "netplwiz".

In any case you will need the user account and password to disable lock screen.

Screen locks being moot if just anyone could disable the screen lock.
