Not a fan of the lock screen? To bypass it so you can just sign
into Windows and get straight to work, you won't find a setting to do it.
Instead, you'll have to use the Registry Editor.
o
Launch the Registry Editor, and, if you haven't already done so,
to create a Registry key called Personalization in
o
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
o
Create a new DWORD value under the Personalization key by
right-clicking it and selecting New --> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Rename the
DWORD value NoScreenLock. Double click-it and change its value from 0 to 1. Now
exit the Registry Editor.
o
The new setting should take effect immediately. The next time
you reboot or wake your PC, you won't see the lock screen. Instead, you'll go
straight to the Windows sign-in screen.
