Wow to skip first image in windows 10 login?

It was for OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to disable the lock screen to see if that is the screen you are referring to. The registry value is not there by default since it's only added when you enable the group policy. Since you don't have group policy in your Windows 10 Home edition, the .reg file will let you set it in the registry instead. They both set the same policy in the registry.

I was asking for a screenshot that you are seeing and referring to in your first post so that we can make sure we help with the correct one. I think it's the lock screen, but just wanted to be sure. :)

Thank you Brink. Now It is right to the login.

pintree3, :)

Yep, that would be your lock screen. If you like, you can use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to disable it, and go straight to your sign in screen afterwards.

I only have that happen on my insider build machine, But it never asks to rate the picture, I just hit a key as you do to punch in my pin.

On this, my main box, upgraded from 8.1, it goes right to the desktop, exactly how I want it on a local account.

I hate passwords on a non employee owned personal computer. There`s no need, they are useless.

I will try the registry download and saved the registry 1st, a few levels up.
2 things of concern b4 i do that though;
One is, on the link u gave me it had someone say this: "The group policy edit has not worked for me for several builds. I think that ever since the Lock Screen went to XAML type the group policy edit is being ignored. "
whereby a reply to this was: "Have you tried running the gpupdate.exe /force command after modifying the policy?
Sometimes Windows doesn't react to GP changes automatically."
and to this I'll say I'm not sure what they mean.
and back to the registry think and my backup If things go wrong, normally once back to windows one just needs to double-click the backup reg file. BUT since I am doing something that would in theory change things b4 I even get to windows, what if i don't get there? Would there be a way of doing so, aia command prompt, safe start up or something or other?

There's nothing to worry about. It'll only disable the lock screen so that you will only see the sign in screen instead. :)

Great news pintree3. :)
