Is it possible to disable the user welcome screen? The screen that shows the user image and says 'Welcome' below it? Already have it set to auto login and have no password set but this splash still shows.
 
Easily done.

Just create a local account for sign in, then leave the password field blank. There are actually a few ways to do it. None of my Windows 10 systems require anything at the Welcome screen. Straight from POST to desktop, with a brief flicker of the welcome screen in between.

Take your pick of solutions.

I am talking about that brief flicker. I'd like to skip that. Is that possible?

 
Back in the early days of windows 10, this system never showed the screen. I call it the boot screen because I think it is part of the boot process and not the log or sign in process. My theory is that the difference now is that windows has developed bloat, so way more stuff loads, the whole boot-to-desktop process takes longer and that boot screen which is always available but was unnecessary now is deployed long enough to see.
If I upgrade to the 9800X series sometime, perhaps I can just power on by it again.
 


If you had an overclocked i7, and a PCIe NVME M.2 SSD, along with about 16GB or more of RAM, mayb...no. Because I have all that and I still see that brief flicker. It's LESS than a second. How much of a nuisance could it actually be?
