This is also an important factor why the default Windows 10 lock screen feature is active, so we have to use a password and username when entering the Windows 10 desktop. This password is useful so that other people don’t can access our computers without permission.

But sometimes there are times when we are very busy and the lockscreen makes work hampered. Regarding this, did you know that we can actually deactivate the Windows 10 Lockscreen, so after we deactivate the Lockscreen, every time we sign out or lock our Windows 10 account, we will immediately be directed to the Sign In Screen without having any Lockscreen first.

So curious, right? here we summarize the steps to turn off the lock screen in Windows 10, as below

To start, hold down the Windows key on the keyboard, then press the R key to initiate the Run dialog. From here, type “gpedit.msc” and press Enter. If you get an error at this point, you’ll need to use method 2 (outlined below), but if not, you’ll see a Group Policy Editor pop up window.

• Double click the NoLockScreen DWORD that you just renamed, then a small window will appear. In the “Value data” field in this pop-up, enter the number 1, then click “OK.”
