Is it possible to configure Win10 so that when it boots up, it goes
directly to the screen where you type in the password?

Currently, it takes you to a screen with a clock on it. You have to
click on that screen and it takes you to another screen where you have
the opportunity to type in the password. I'd like to get rid of this
extraneous step.

Note I do /not/ want to avoid having to log-in altogether. I just
don't see the need for the interstitial screen. It's like I'm on a
smartphone or something and need to "swipe to unlock".

(and while we are at it, are there any options to configure these
screens, e.g., colors and backgrounds?)

Thanks.


I have done it in Win8, can't remember what but google "disable lock screen" and you should find something that will
lead you to Group Policy editor. You disable it in there.
