How to remove the welcome screen on Windows 10

The welcome screen appeared on devices running Windows back in the G8. Some users like it, but others think that entering a password is enough. If you want to remove the welcome screen on your computer, then use one of these simple methods.

Disable via Local Group Policy Editor

In the first case, you will need to open the local group policy editor through the "Run" command. To do this, click on Win + R and enter in the window that appears

gpedit.msc

or right-click on the "Start" button and click on the "Run" item. In the "Local Group Policy Editor" window that opens, go to the "Administrative Templates" → "Control Panel" → "Personalization" menu.

Double click on the item "Prevent the display of the lock screen" and put a tick on the option "Enabled". Click on the OK button. To test if the method worked, enter Win + L on your keyboard. If you immediately see the password entry screen, then everything worked out.

Disabling via Registry Editor

If the first method did not work, then try disabling the welcome screen through the registry editor. Open it again using the Run command, as shown in the first method, and enter

regedit

in the window that appears. In the left menu go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows. In the right - move the cursor to an empty field and click on the right mouse button. Select New DWORD 32 Value. Rename the setting to NoLockScreen. Double click on it and specify unit in the value. Click on OK.

Test that this method works by using the Win + L keys.

If you want to remove not only the welcome screen, but also set up automatic login without any passwords, then you will need to disable the lock screen. To do this, you need to remove your account password. Do not forget to also remove the PIN, if any. To do this, go to "Your PC Settings", select "Login Options" and delete the existing PIN.

Well, if you want to leave the password in place, but still skip the lock screen, then disable automatic login to your account. Now the computer will immediately load your desktop after each turn on without any other distractions!
