Windows 10: how do i disable SIGN IN screen?

This is NOT the reboot login screen


this screen shows up when my PC is idle for a period of

time


i do NOT have to enter a PIN or PW ... just click 'sign in'


however, it is disabling my mouse and it blocks my

Synergy software which allows me to use one mouse/

keyboard for multiple computers


i now have to just shut my PC down and reboot in order

to gain access - NOT GOOD

I have tried every recommendation on the web and nothing

has stopped it from showing up


please help


thanks

How do I completely disable the Sign In screen?

Hi,



I realize that you need to disable the Sign-in screen, let me assist you.



I suggest you to try disabling the Lock screen using Group policy settings. You need to login using an Administrator account to perform these steps.

• 
  Press Windows Key +R key, type
  gpedit.msc and press Enter key. This will open the
  Local Group Policy Editor.
  
• 
  Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.
  
• 
  Double click “Do not display the lock screen” and select
  Enabled from the dialog that pops up. Click OK.
  

Note: This settings works if there is only single user account in the system and the user account does not require a password to login.



Hope the information helps, kindly write back to us for further assistance on Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.



Thank you.

 

How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:

• MemTest86+ (no problems)
• Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
• Low resolution mode
• BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
• DISM.exe and sfc
• etc.

However, these do make the error go away:

• End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
• Safe Mode
• Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
• Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
• Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.

 

Best method to disable Vista/Vista 64 driver signing?

Black Ice:

It's not a matter of "try". The bcdedit command is not fully consistent and reliable for some folks.

So far, to me, it seems the third choice always locks (disables) the driver signing. If that is the case for anyone who uses it, then that would suggest it is the more reliable and consistent method of the ones I've listed, anyway.

Thanks for your feedback.
