Windows 10: Trying to defeat lock screen, PIN and Password W10 pro

20H2 19042.804 Exp pack 120.2212.551.0


I just want to go directly to the desktop.


The machine is only used for two web reference pages and my Ham Radio logging, the latest update has taken away the sleep option so the machine has to be turned off, but trying to delete the hassle of PIN and/or password after a system refresh is proving impossible for me, I now have two accounts of the same name one works with a PIN and one does not.


I have tried most of the suggestions short of fiddling with the registry and netplwiz did nothing but apparently generate a duplicate account.


Is there any way to just have my simple and private machine simply start?


Thanks in advance.

Different Pin Or Password For Lock Screen & Sign-in Screen?

I am wondering if it is possible to have a separate Pin or Password for the lock screen and sign in screen?

For example:
My Microsoft Account Pin and Password is known to more than myself in my home. I do not want to change the Microsoft Account Password. If I change the Pin at the lock screen, others can just use the Microsoft account Password instead.

What I wish to do is lock my computer and when presented with the lock screen, have the Password for that different than the sign in screen. The only option presented at the first lock screen is either a Pin or Password.

The computer will be doing things in the background while it is locked.

Is it even possible to do what I want?

 

Lock screen automatically with password

Hi Kenneth,

To have a better view on this concern, are you referring with Lock Screen timeout? If so, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• Click on Start menu.
• Go to Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Under Sign-in options, click on Lock screen.
• Go to Screen timeout settings.
• Change the value under Screen.

Also, no need to create a pin code since you already have your Microsoft account password. You can sign in using your account.

Let us know if you need any further assistance and we will be glad to help.

 

Pin lock screen background

Hi! I'm trying to change the background of the lock screen on my surface pro 3 with windows 10. I can easily change the background of the normal lock screen, the one that can we swiped up. But I'd like to change the lock screen where I have to enter my pin
or password: I haven't been able to find an option to set it. It keeps showing the dark blue image with blue windows logo on the right. Any suggestion?
