Remove Lock-screen & Sign-in page on Windows 10 laptop
This solution works for Windows 10 Home, Version 1607, OS build 14393.1198.
To remove Lock-screen & Sign-in page in Win 10 Home (i.e. go straight to Desktop from Startup or Sleep mode) you must first set up a password, even though you don’t require it, in order to get the “Require sign-in” option to appear above the “Windows Hello” in Sign-in options.
1 Go to the “Password” option. Enter a password & confirm.
2 Restart computer. The lock screen followed by the sign-in page will appear. Use the password to open Windows then go to Settings/Accounts/Sign-in and select “Never” under “Require sign-in”.
3 Right click the windows icon on the left of the taskba rand click Run. Enter “netplwiz” and click OK. Uncheck “Users must enter username and password to use this computer”.
4 When restarting computer it will go straight to Desktop.
