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



To disable the lock screen use Group Policy Editor:


WinKey+R to bring up the Run Dialog
type in "gpedit.msc" (no quotes) and hit OK to start Local Group Policy Editor
Navigate to Computer Configuration-Administrative Templates-Control Panel-Personalization
Select "Do not display the lock screen"
In the middle panel will be an "Edit policy setting" link
Click that link and set this policy to "Enabled"
Click OK and dismiss the Group Policy Editor window


Now when your computer comes up from sleep or a boot you'll skip the lock screen.


Awesome. That did the trick.

Thank you for the quick and precise answer.
