Enable or Disable Lock Screen in Windows 10  

Hello everyone,

I think I'm the only one different here, because I actually had the lock screen disabled on startup. It only appears when I signed out or locked the computer. With the changes in lock screen transition on anniversary update, I wanted to enable the lock screen via group policy and regedit, but I couldn't get it to work.

Here's what happened before. Before the anniversary update, I already disabled the lock screen via group policy. Then I decided to upgrade it. During installation at 90%, there's was a sudden power outage so I had to install the update again. Maybe it corrupted some system files.

Like I said before, I really want to enable the lock screen during start up

@Brink Can you make a fix for this for Windows 10 Redstone? It goes me STRAIGHT on the nérves that they completely ignore their customers and block gpedit.msc and regedit from modifying that entry (it will just reset once the PC reboots). I want this useless feature gone, else i go back to Windows 8.1 (yes, those things can make the difference for me). I don't like being forced to have that stupid lock screen, which is ABSOLUTELY useless as a Desktop user.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Hello @yanniclord, :)

OPTION THREE will disable the lock screen, but just not at startup.

To avoid the lock screen and sign-in screen at startup, you could set Windows to automatically sign in to your account at startup.

Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup

Sorry, but none of these are an option for me, i want it totally gone. I found someone who decompiled the LogonController.dll and changed some bits in it, and i switched it out with my current and it works perfectly. I tried all other options, the only that worked was the LogonController.dll "hack"

Brink , I found this on another thread, can you verify this would be safe and work http://www.askvg.com/tip-disable-or-...0-lock-screen/

Thanks
