你可以禁用Windows 10锁定屏幕使用2hods – Group Policy and Registry. When you login to Windows 10 computer, before you sign in you see a lock screen. You can disable this lock screen on your Windows 10 so that you can directly login.
Every time when you unlock your Windows 10 computer you must press CTRL + ALT + DEL before signing. Some Windows 10 users don’t like the lock screen and they want to disable the lock screen. UnfortunatelyWindows 10doesn’t have an built-in option to disable the Windows 10 lock screen but you can disable the lock screen using Registry orGroup Policy。
There could be other ways of disabling the lock screen on Windows 10. However I am covering the steps that works with all Windows 10 versions.
Disable Windows 10 lock screen using Group Policy
In this method we will disable Windows 10 lock screen using group policy. Login to Windows 10 computer with an account that has administrative privileges.
ClickStartand run the commandgpedit.msc。This launches the Local group policy editor. Navigate toComputer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization。
Here we will enable the policy calledDo not display the lock screen。By default this policy is not configured. This policy setting controls whether the lock screen appears for users. If you enable this policy setting, users that are not required to pressCTRL + ALT + DELbefore signing in will see their selected tile after locking their PC.

Disable Windows 10 lock screen using Registry
In this method we will disable Windows 10 lock screen usingRegistry。This method involves editing the registry key. So I would recommend taking a backup of your registry before performing any changes. If the changes you made don’t work well, you can restore the registry backup.
On your Windows 10 computer, clickStartand run the commandregedit。浏览下面的注册表路径:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Right-click the Windows key (folder), select the New submenu and choose theKeyoption.
Name the key as Personalization and pressEnter。
Right-click the Personalization folder, select the New submenu, and choose theDWORD (32-bit) valueoption.
Enter the name asNoLockScreenand set the value to1。After you make these changes, close the registry editor. Reboot the Windows 10 computer. On the Windows 10 start up you will notice that lock screen doesn’t appear any more, you can straight away login to your Windows 10 computer.

I have performed all of the above but the laptop still shows lock screen sad to say. maybe because I have it set as a local, not microsoft?
I just got the new edition of Windows 10 on a system reset. I tried both ways with the 32 bit first with no luck. Lock screen is still there. So I tried the 64 bit which is the operating system that I have and still no luck. There is no way in the control panel to do this and group policy I don’t have. Without complete instructions on how to download it and use it for this purpose I won’t use it. In my settings there is only two ways to log in One with p/w and the other a pin number. This new edition of Win 10 says I must log in every time but I would like to remove the lock screen.
Hello Prajwal,
Thanks for the article. How can we disable lock screen image and logon screen image, without disabling lock screen. That means, we need the prompt for CTRL+ALT+DEL but with default color background and no image.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the help!
