HOW TO DISABLE YOUR WINDOW 8 LOCK SCREEN

Here in this tutorial l will teach you how you can disable your windows 8 Lock screen following a simple step.

Similar to your smartphone’s lock screen, Windows 8 operating system also shows the time, date, battery percentage, etc., and for any PC user who would like to remove it and go straight to account login, here’s how to do it. follow the steps below carefully.

How to disable the lock screen via Registry Editor:

Note:You will need to close all the running programs or reboot the PC prior to making registry edits, and make sure you’re logged in as the Administrator. This hack works in any version of Windows 8.

• step1:Press “Window key + R” on your keyboard to launch the Run bar.

• step2:In the Run bar, type "regedit"

• step3:Click “Yes” once the UAC asks you for access 

• step4: From the Registry Editor folders, go to this path:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Policies>Microsoft>Windows>Personalisation"

 

• step5: If you can’t find the folder “Personalisation,” you need to create the folder first to keep the DWORD “NoLockScreen.”

• step6: Right-click the “Windows” folder and then hover the mouse to “New” and choose “Key.” Name the key “Personalisation.”

• step7: Right-click the “Personalisation” folder and hover the mouse to “New.” Choose the “DWORD (32-bit) value” and you’ll see the new value in the folder 
• step8: Name the DWORD “NoLockScreen.”

• step9: Right-click “NoLockScreen” and click “Modify.” Change the value from 0 to 1 and click OK. 

• step10:Exit the Registry Editor and reboot/restart your PC. You have successfully tweaked the lock screen if your screen shows you the user login instead of the lock screen.

However, in my test running, my first attempt was unsuccessful because of this one letter that the system was unable to acknowledge:“S”

• Note: My OS runs a US-English language, and I labelled the key “Personalisation” (following UK-English for screenshot purposes) instead of “Personalization.” After restarting the system, the lock screen wasn’t disabled. So, I renamed the folder following the US spelling of “Personalization,” restarted the PC and now I bypassed it.  

To get the lock screen back, simply follow the first four steps above, and under the “Windows” folder, right-click “Personalization” key and choose “Delete.” Exit the Registry Editor and restart the system; you’ll find the lock screen again after startup, safe and sound.
Again, make sure that you’re on that same path as mentioned.
