Windows 10: get rid of the sign on pics or at least something I like

These sign on photos in Lock Screen are annoying. Worse is: MS always saves the one's I Do NoT Likr, now stuck with them. how and where can I change to something I enjoy. thanks

:)

 

How do I get rid of the sign-on screen that asks for a password? I just want to be able to turn the computer on and use it - no typing in of passwords.

Hi Chris, please read that post, I did not say to paste it here -

"Click your Start button, type snipping and hit Enter

This will open the snipping tool

Take a screenshot with the snipping tool and save it to your Desktop

Then in your next post, click the second last button to upload the screenshot into your post . . ."

What is the make and model of your computer?

The Windows Key is usually between teh CTRL and Alt keys on bottom left of keyboard.

Right Click the Start Button -

Select either Command Prompt (Admin) OR Windows PowerShell (Admin) - a prompt will come up that looks like C:\Windows\System32>

type in --> control userpasswords2

Uncheck "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer".

These show you that method and others to do the same thing.

Hi Arabian Horse. Welcome to the TenForums @Arabian Horse

This tutorial will show you how to customize. I will warn you there seems to be a bug in this code with several members saying that if the change they don't get what they want and it can be difficult to reset.

That said you should be able to defeat the Windows Spotlight pictures one way or the other.

HI K

Thank you for answering my query. I did find an area to turn off the MS Start up photos, they are annoying.

Nonetheless, now I am left with 4 photos NOT A FAN OF....... geezzzz

So, how does one turn it back on (if you have the time) and retrieve or get back into this stupid waste of time and save a few decent photos we are FAN of.

Every time I hit FAN of, they were gone. When NOT A FAN the photos stayed.

This is all extremely childish! But if I MUST see a photo on my start up, really would prefer something I like
Thank you for your time and help
Respectfully

As I said in first post, there is something wrong with this.

I'll show you this thread.

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

I'm not a fan of registry hacks.... There are likely others threads on subject. On the machine I changed the lock and password screen now have a mind of their own. I'm ignoring them expecting a fix in the next month or two. (Nothing official, I just figure its the front door of your system, one I think MS is proud of so I'm hoping they have prioritized.)

 

Thank Ken,

Not being IT savvy, think I will leave this alone with this new computer, do not want strange bugs affecting my work.

Thank you so much for all your input and time!!
Cheers

I'm sure this will be fixed. Good luck.
