Starting today my computer (Windows 10 1607 14393.693) starts up with the lock screen in place. I have disabled the lock screen using Winaero Tweaker, dobbelina LockScreenGone, as well as netplwiz.cpl (user doesn't have to enter username and password to log in. And yet the lock screen is back. Worse, it doesn't even offer me my own user name to click. It defaults to Other User. Is this happening to everyone, or have I got something screwed up?
Go to Settings | Account | Sing in with a local account instead. Enter your previous information and sign out. Enter a name and click next without entering any password.
If you have your installation media try to do system repair with it or hold down SHIFT key and click on the power button at the lock screen and select restore at the 'Advanced Boot Option' to do a system restore.
If you are using OO Shutup there are 2 settings that can cause this behavior. Under Lock Screen be sure you didn't change the Do Not Display Last User and Do Not Show USer ID. I had the same problem when I changed the defaults.
It is appalling how people can easily blame Microsoft for their own doings. You just have to do a system restore or repair.
That's what happens when Microsoft restricts user-choice and the user has to rely on a 3rd-party app to tweak settings If Windows wasn't a restrictive locked-down unreliable mess (in regards to settings), most of those tools wouldn't need to exist.
Ironically, there is no restriction in OS X and no lock screen as well. I for one think Windows 10 is more flexible than Mac OS X.
