Has anybody found a way to fully disable the lockscreen? I don't wanna upgrade unless I can fully disable it. I've tested a couple of solutions on another PC, but it seems like it doesnt work on reboot or on the first boot.

  Sorry, I didn't say it properly - by completly disabling I meant the fact that even with some of the tweaks the lockscreen kept appearing before the login screen(e.g. after reboot). But I wanna keep the login screen while disabling the lockscreen.

    I've done it with a registry edit. It's such an irritating and pointless "feature" http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-lock-screen-windows-10 http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-lock-screen-window...

    What's the problem? Don't you just need to hit 'return' to get the password field?

      It's improved somewhat over the last few releases, but it still freezes up for several seconds with absolutely no feedback that it registered my keypress. On my laptop this still takes >5 seconds. Also the fade-in animation takes some time, during which the password field is visible but I can't type in it. I have to type my password twice almost every single time. It needs to be more responsive that it is unlocking, and more definite about when you can start typing. Or... they could just get rid of it.

  After someone else has commented on your post, I think it usually loses the delete button.

This works for me except for on boot, which only happens once every few weeks so it's fine: http://winaero.com/blog/disable-lock-screen-in-windows-10-anniversary-update-version-1607/ http://winaero.com/blog/disable-lock-screen-in-windows-10-an...

  Yeah, that was one solution that I've tried, the second one was https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4w0saz/workarounds_for_windows_10_anniversary_removed/ https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4w0saz/workaround... but as you said on (re)boot it does not work.

The lock screen bugs me too but that's what's stopping you from upgrading? If that bugs you, you're going to be driven insane once you run across everything else you can't turn off. I know first-hand, I permanently moved to Linux last week because of it.

  I use(heavily tweaked) xubuntu as my main system and windows 10 for gaming. That's why the lockscreen bugs me a lot. It's gonna be annoying every time I boot to windows.

What's the problem with the lockscreen to start with?

  I am not certain what GP is referring to, but I suspect the lock screen's Spotlight feature is what is being referred to. Not the ability to lock a session itself.
  - lousken 10y ago
    Well for starters, it serves no purpose to me. I just wanna log in. Spotlight can be disabled.
