This screen used to change pictures, but mine has gotten stuck on a picture of a pile of rocks. The option to change picture has disappeared, so I am going to try this registry entry. |

Good day T, On 2016-12-19 13:24, T wrote: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\Personalization] "NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001 I haven't tried this one; but it is inside "Policies" which makes me think the WinAero article is correct - this particular policy will be ignored in version 1607... This no longer works in "Anniversay Update" ... http://winaero.com/blog/disable-lock...-version-1607/ This above registry hack needs a real reboot to work. It occurred to me that maybe you did not do an actual reboot. The GUI click restart is not a real restart. It is an M$ marketing weasel thing. All it does is terminate your programs. Shutdown is the same way. It just stops your programs and puts you in suspend. To get rid of this behavior, you have to turn off "Fast Boot" Ah but I haven't tried it myself. I just passed along what I had read on WinAero (I subscribe to their Feed). I do have a Anniversary partition, but I don't use it - I will use it only when it's time and when Microsoft stops re-compiling the entire OS every couple months (hopefully they will hurry up and finalize the damn OS soon). No one at work who has Win10 has asked me to disable the lock screen yet; most never will even if it bugs them... Just remember the WinAero article if ever the logon screen comes back. It's a good feature for phones but utterly useless for desktops... Best Regards, I just noticed a fully updated Son-of-Frankenstein (w10) that the registry jack did not work on. Bummer! |

Works in both Frankenstein (W8) and Son-of- Frankenstein (W10). Oh, you means the security feature that ensures ONLY Windows core receives the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard combination to allow a login which makes sure some malware isn't intercepting that key combo? Are we even talking about the same screen? This is the side to unlock screen that you have to swipe off the top to get at the user log in screen. No CtrlAltDel involved. http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/h...gon-windows-10 Same option as in prior versions of Windows. I still think we are talking about different things. This is the obnoxious screen I am talking about: https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=...gImg.jpg& f=1 |

But it is a Virtual Machine and things are not always the same ... 1. winr gpedit.msc 2. Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Control Panel - Personalization 3. In right-side pane, double-click on "Do not display the lock screen" option and set its value to "Enabled". |
