Remove Lock-screen & Sign-in page on Windows 10 laptop


Correct, but as the thread title suggests, it is for folk who don't need security & wish to remove the lock-screen and sign-in page in order to access the desk-top immediately.

 

sign in page does not work computer locked

Hi Peter,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can understand the inconvenience of not being able to sign-in to PC after entering the correct password. There could be several reasons for this cause. Let me ask you;

• Do you use Microsoft Account or local account to sign-in to the PC?
• Do you remember making any specific change in the password?

It is unfortunate that you are facing this issue. I would request you to refer to the suggestions provided by

Remove Lock-screen & Sign-in page on Windows 10 laptop


This solution works for Windows 10 Home, Version 1607, OS build 14393.1198.
To remove Lock-screen & Sign-in page in Win 10 Home (i.e. go straight to Desktop from Startup or Sleep mode) you must first set up a password, even though you don’t require it, in order to get the “Require sign-in” option to appear above the “Windows Hello” in Sign-in options.
1 Go to the “Password” option. Enter a password & confirm.
2 Restart computer. The lock screen followed by the sign-in page will appear. Use the password to open Windows then go to Settings/Accounts/Sign-in and select “Never” under “Require sign-in”.
3 Right click the windows icon on the left of the taskba rand click Run. Enter “netplwiz” and click OK. Uncheck “Users must enter username and password to use this computer”.
4 When restarting computer it will go straight to Desktop.
