Hello guys and gals,

the SSD with Windows 10 on it died and I had to make a fresh Windows 10 installation.

I always put my PC to "sleep" when I go away and want to be able to get straight into Windows as soon as I "wake up" my computer. On my old installation I had removed the need to enter a password etc. and there was no login screen after waking up the PC. With this fresh installation of Windows 10 I simpy can't figure out how to remove that annoying login screen.

I went into account options and disabled the need to enter a user name and a password, then restarted my PC but I still get the annoying login screen every time I wake up the computer.

I then looked into the lock screen options but there is only a choice between "Windows Spotlight, Pictures and Slideshow" - the thing is - I don't want ANY of those.

All I want to be able to do is to go straight into Windows when computer wakes up, that's all.


Please help!

windows xp 7 and 8 used to have an empty field to get in, if you set windows 10 to not use a Microsoft account or login you can enter a name and ENTER as password and it will do what it use to do just boot into desktop, but I only seen this choice (do not use Microsoft account) when you install it at bottom of page when it asked you for login email

This worked for me :-

Start button
Click on account name (top of box)
Click on "change account settings"
Left side : "sign in options"
Required sign in " Never"

So what happens for those people if they go to same location this way:
Press Winkey + R to open Run dialog
Type control userpasswords2 then click OK
Remove the check as they normally would then enter the password twice as they normally would
