    how to turn off password on lockscreen


    I want to be able to just turn my computer off without having to log in or do anything with a lockscreen. I have a lockscreen and log in using my pin. I'd rather just turn on my computer and be able to start gaming straight away

    :)

    Lockscreen without password


    Correct. I switched to a local account with no password.

    The only other thing I can suggest is, create a photo screensaver with your desired image, then turn off screensaver settings. Then, navigate to "C:\Windows\System32\PhotoScreensaver.scr" and create a shortcut to the 'PhotoScreensaver.scr' file and pin it to your taskbar or quick launch and click it to engage:

    EDIT: Mind you, it won't be the Lock Screen with the date and time on it though! *Wink

    Thank you again Edwin, I've tried what you suggested. But the only thing that happens is that the display turns off. The lockscreen isn't affected at all. I can lock the computer on demand with Win+L key if I want, but the issue remains: Windows asks me for the password.

    Smartphones with Android, that are more at risk of theft or security issues allow you to disable password if you want to. But this is a home computer. I begin to think Microsoft took the definition of "lockscreen" in the strongest way.

    EDIT: I do not have a "Sign in" button. I have a text field for password insertion. Maybe you do not have set up a password at all?

    If I'm not mistaken, Windows will always make you click on something from a locked state:
