    Hi,
    I've been informed by other people on a different site that as far as they know it's not possible to be able to boot directly to the desktop with windows 10 like you could previously do with some of the older windows operating systems. Currently on my windows 10 computers I have them configured to login automatically, but I still have to view what I call the pre-load screen that shows my current username & the spinning dot's before going on to the desktop. Does anyone know anyway to prevent that screen from showing, as I'm the only user of my computers security isn't really an issue as far as logging in & booting up the computer is concerned.
    Thanks,
    David

    I agree can't seem to allow auto logon anymore. PITA.

    "Require Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft Accounts" in "Windows Security/Account Protection/Windows Hello/Manage Sign-In Options" must be set to "Off", then the old way works fine here ;)

    To auto logon Server 2022 go to gpedit.msc:
    Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Account Policies\Password Policy

    Disable At the right pane, Password must meet complexity requirements

    Then go to sign-in-options(Hello under search) under settings and change login password to none.

    Thanks to all of you who replied to my question, and of course not to offend anyone but the easiest method to automatically login is to use the autologin script that's part of the sysinternals program. I'm not even going to think anymore about not being able to boot directly to the desktop without first having to see the windows welcome screen. I'm pretty sure it's just not possible anymore.
