How to Disable Lock Screen on Windows 10 and 8



--AD--

Basically, the Lock screen is that first screen that you will have to swipe left or right before you get to the screen that prompts for your login password into your Windows 10 or 8 device. As for me, i guess it is cool for tablets and other pocket windows devices as it can help reduce accidental password trials or logins but how about a PC? It is definitely unnecessary in my own opinion.


Therefore, If you wish to disable the lock screen on your Windows 10 or 8 PC, just follow the simple steps that is described in this post to Do-it-Yourself.
