Windows Welcome page

SharkE — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 15:11:25 GMT

I got Windows 10 and had the welcome page of mountain scenes, etc. disabled, after the last update it's back to the welcome page. Forgot how I disable it just want it to come on and go straight to desktop.

Any one refresh my memory how I got it to skip the nature scenes ?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that the sign-on screen is stuck?

When I power up, my screen always shows a place to sign in, like this:

I have never been able to not have this screen appear. As far as I know it's the only way you can get to your desktop. I don't think you can bypass it.

When I bring up my new HP i5 Touchscreen computer I bought on QVC mine-it comes up to a picture screen. Then I swipe up from the bottom and sign in and hit enter. Then it stays on the screen. Mine has the Fall Creators version on it- this was the latest update. That is how mine has always came up. I have it that if I am away from it for a while that I did not have to sign in when I hit the space bar to put the picture back up when it is in sleep mode.

I think there is a way to get it to not make you sign in when booting but I am not sure of the setting.

The pictures can be found under Settings and Personalization

lick on Themes and choose what you want. Then go out of Settings. Some Themes just have 1 photo and some have more photos in them.

I just did these steps and now I don't have to sign in with my password each time I power up. My computer is now is set up to automatically sign in and take me to my desktop.

"Q. Can I change the settings on my Windows 10 laptop so that I don’t have to enter a password every time I start the computer? "

"A. The password screen that appears each time you start Windows 10 is a security feature Microsoft added to help protect your computer from other people. If you do not share the laptop with anybody else and do not use it in public where others may have a chance to tamper with it, disabling the login screen is less of a security issue, but keep in mind that it does remove a level of protection.

Press the Windows and R keys on the keyboard to open the Run box and enter “netplwiz.” Press the Enter key. In the User Accounts window, select your account and uncheck the box next to “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.” Click the Apply button. In the box that appears, type your password where prompted. Click the OK button.

Restart the computer. You should not be asked for a password now to get into your Windows 10 PC. Later, if you wind up creating another user account for someone to share the laptop (or you take the computer on the road where someone else could potentially get into your files), consider reversing your steps and reactivating the password requirement in your Windows 10 settings."

I don't get asked for nothing LOL just don't want to wait for the mountain welcome page to welcome me. Before the **** update happened it just went straight to start up page with all your icons present.

They can't leave well enough alone you know.

Well if you thought post #4 was bad, then the worst news is that there is actually a re-program option that is very techie and has many more steps than what was mention in post #4. It involves going into the 'RUN' program window and gives you the option to boot directly to desktop, bypassing all 'nature scenes'. It's not recommended to do because it puts your computer at risk for someone else to go into your private accounts directly. I think it would be too much for most to perform. But I feel your pain with the windows updates. @SharkE

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I just wish when they do their updates they would leave my **** pc the way they found it, the way I want it to be , not the way they want it to be.

I paid for it, I pay the ISP bill each month, so, keep your updates to just what is necessary and don't bother another persons 'kit'. LOL

I switched to Apple for the desktop and keep 2 Windows laptops for convenience sake. Apple doesn't have all that goop coming in on a Wed every month. What gets me it's late at night you go to turn off Windows and it says "do you wish to update and restart" or do you wish to update and turn off. Maybe I just want to turn U off and update at a time that is convenient for me not you. sheesh. Your 'shut down' option isn't available

so you have to go ahead and stay up and let it go thru all that jazz before you can turn the **** thing off and go to bed.

If you don't want to have to sign in, or sit thru mountain scenes at start up or app pages before the pc will take U to your desktop page you can customize Windows 10 by following these easy peasy directions.

@SharkE,

That still doesn't take away having to sign in.

Re: Windows Welcome page

SharkE — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 20:33:06 GMT

I'll find that and send it in and post it to you. I'm in a pc group and they taught me that a long time ago, I haven't signed in , for like yrs. but, I'll ask for you and will post for you.

by using that link I can now skip the mountain scene and I disabled the

'visible appls page' that I took for granted that I had to click out of to get to my desktop page. Makes my start up page so much faster.

I will post to you in here directly, I hate that you have to sign in each and every time.

This is what he said:

OK, I'll try, but first I need to know what model computer she's using and the operating system that's running on it.

For example on my system I open control panel, then select "User Accounts", then select my log-in and clear the password and leave it blank...that bypasses user login screen.

That part is not an option on my screen. Did I miss a step?

This is what I'm seeing and there is no 'My Log-in" option here:

SharkE — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 00:03:10 GMT

I don't have 'my log in ' either on mine

I'll tell him. I assume you have Windows 10 ?

I got HP 15 laptop Windows 10

aimoo group, might have to sign up to join aimoo. Free, group Free

http://computerhelp.aimoo.com

guy who runs it is called Bama

got to be something simple because I did it on both my lap tops

Just a matter of unticking the box that requires you to sign in each time.

Re: Windows Welcome page

SharkE — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 00:34:38 GMT

found this online too while I'm waiting on Bama

Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the User Accounts and Family Safety link.
Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on theUser Accounts icon and proceed to Step 4.
Click on the User Accounts link.
In the Make changes to your user account area of the User Accounts window, click theRemove your password link.
In the text box on the next screen, enter your current Windows 7 password.
Click the Remove Password button to confirm that you'd like to remove your Windows 7 password.
You can now close the User Accounts window.
Now that your Windows 7 account password has been deleted, you will no longer need to log on when your computer starts.

That is for Windows 7. I don't think it is possible to completely bypass log-in with Windows 10. The only thing I have been able to do is set my computer to automatically sign in without me having to physically type in my password each time I sign on. It's automatic and does not eliminate my password. I just don't type it in...the computer does it for me. I gave the instructions to do this up on the earlier part of this thread.
