    How to boot to login screen rather than account?


    I've built a new PC last week, and installed Windows 10 to it (upgraded from a legitimate 7). Now I've made several accounts for me and someone else (work, play etc) and now I have an issue logging in.

    Whenever I (re)boot the PC, it boots straight into the last used account rather than to the login screen. Is there anywhere I can adjust this? Navigating through the settings has gotten a lot less straightforward after 7.
    Any help appreciated.

    :)

    Boot to start screen in Windows 10

    The first item on your list is not the case: it will not directly boot me up to my start screen.

    The rest of the steps will only disable the need to enter a password or PIN to login. I will still end up in the desktop rather than the start screen...right?

    and how do I give feedback about the feedback app not working? I'd much rather use website to submit this than and app that after going through the login steps just shows a gray screen.

    Got it. Set my lock screen to Picture rather than Spotlight, not sure if it's a bug but it works for me now.
