Windows 10: How To Disable log on Screen After Waking From Sleep

How do I disable the lock screen on a Win 10 Home laptop after waking from sleep or on restart?

Under Settings-Accounts-Sign in options there used to be a setting to turn this off. Now I cant see it anywhere. Your advice would be appreciated.

I am using a local administrator account on Win 10 home build 19042.867. There is no password.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Chris

Cannot Disable Lock Screen Upon Wake

I want my Surface Pro 4 (W10 Pro) to wake from sleep straight to the start screen. Since the Anniversary update, I get the lock screen that has to be swiped first. Note I am NOT talking about the log in screen; I've already disabled that.

I've tried many suggestions that don't work. For instance, renaming the system apps 'lock screen app' and creating a scheduled task replace the wake lock screen with a log in screen. Registry hacks don't work any more.

Has anyone found a way to bypass the lock screen upon wake?
