How to remove the login screen (the initial loading screen) after bootup

[AshishUparaEpsilon]

Hi,

I am using a Lattepanda V1 device that operates on Windows 10 and launches a specific application after starting up. I have not configured a lock screen password. However, I encounter a login screen (the initial loading screen) that I wish to bypass. I want to remove both the Lock Screen and the login screen.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?



Thanks and Regards,

Hi Ashish Upara,
To remove the lock screen and login screen on a Windows 10 device, you can follow these steps:
1. Press the "Windows key + R" to open the Run command box.
2. Type in "netplwiz" and press "Enter" to open the User Accounts dialog box.
3. In the User Accounts dialog box, uncheck the checkbox that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
4. When prompted, provide the administrator password to complete the process.
This should disable the login screen and allow you to boot into Windows 10 without entering any credentials. Note that this will also disable the lock screen.
Alternatively, you can also try disabling the lock screen by doing the following:
1. Press the "Windows key + R" to open the Run command box.
2. Type in "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter" to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
3. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.
4. Locate the entry that says "Do not display the lock screen" and double-click on it.
5. In the Properties window, select the "Enabled" option and click "OK" to save changes.
This should also disable the lock screen on your Lattepanda V1 device.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

To bypass the login screen and automatically log into Windows 10, Ashish can use one of the following methods:

---

Option 1: Use Microsoft’s AutoLogon Tool​

• Microsoft Sysinternals provides an official tool called AutoLogon that securely handles automatic login configuration.
• Download AutoLogon here: Sysinternals AutoLogon.

Steps:

1. Download and run the tool as an administrator.
2. Enter your username, password, and domain (if applicable).
3. Enable auto-login by clicking Enable.
4. Restart the system to test the auto-login functionality.

---

Option 2: Manually Configure Auto Login in Windows​

• If you prefer not to use external tools, you can set up auto-login through your system settings.

Steps:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog and type:
   

   cmd netplwiz

2. Press Enter, and the User Accounts window will open.
3. Select your account and uncheck the box for "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".
4. Click OK, and enter your password (if any) twice to confirm.
5. Reboot your system, and it should log in automatically.

Option 3: Disable the Lock Screen​

To remove the Lock Screen entirely:

1. Open the Group Policy Editor (Win + R, type gpedit.msc).
2. Navigate to:
   

    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization

3. Double-click on "Do not display the lock screen" and set it to Enabled.
4. Click OK, then restart.

Note: Group Policy Editor is only available on Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise editions.

General Notes:​

• Security Warning: While auto-login is convenient for single-purpose devices (like your Lattepanda), it removes the layer of security provided by the login screen. Ensure the device won't access sensitive data or be publicly accessible.
• If the device is managed in a domain or network setting, verify with your administrator, as policies may block certain changes.

With these methods, the boot experience should become seamless, with no login delays. Let me know if you need further clarification or run into specific issues!
