Disable Lock Screen

Hi Barry,

We suggest that you try this method to disable the lock screen (except at boot):

• Open File Explorer and head to C:\Windows\SystemApps.
• Locate the Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy folder in the list.
• Right-click on the folder name, select Rename, and rename it to
  Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy.backup.

Note: If you ever want to restore your lock screen, just return to the
C:\Windows\SystemApps folder, locate the Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy.backup file, and rename it back to
Microsoft.LockApp_cw5n1h2txyewy.

Let us know how it turns out.
