  1. Remove date/time from lock screen for Windows-10 corporate laptop


    My new Windows 10 laptop shows the time in large font in the lock screen. For many people, this is not an issue, but for a significant portion, it is [1]. I'm often trying to get stuff done late into the night. At home, I try to hide all indications of the exact time because it just creates anxiety. This in turn makes it hard to get to sleep when I eventually do.

    Of my three Windows 10 laptops, two are not configured to be on a coporate network. I was able two remove the date/time from both of these. None of the procedures found online, however, have worked for the corporate laptop. To attempt various solutions, my network account was given administrator rights. Additionally, a local administrator account was also created for me. Neither measure seems to have helped.

    The solutions I've tried started with what I could find in the answers.microsoft.com thread at reference [1]. My search expanded from there, but not much else was found. Here is what I've tried.

    Start > Settings > Personalizations > Lock screen

    For both local and network accounts, all controls are grayed out except for the following which did not help:

    "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen"

    Using the local administrator account to access `regedit`, I went to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    > SOFTWARE
    > Policies
    > Microsoft
    > Windows
    > Personalization

    In there, I created a new 32-bit DWORD `NoLockScreen` and set it to `1`. No luck.

    Using my network account to access `gpedit.msc`, I enabled the following, without success:

    Local Computer Policy
    > Administrative Templates
    > Control Panel
    > Personalization
    > Do not display the lock screen

    Following the `superuser` page at reference [2], I renamed `Microsoft.LockApp_XXXXX` to `Microsoft.LockApp_XXXXX.bak`.

    The only thing I haven't tried is the Windows 8 suggestion at reference [3], as I do not want to mess up the date/time dispaly format for my locale.

    Why would these solutions not work on a corporate laptop only, and why are my lock screen personalization controls grayed out?
