Since the Anniversary Update, Windows 10 shows you a welcome screen that loads on Microsoft Edge as you sign in after installing a new feature update or Windows Insider Preview build.
While this may be informative to some users, usually it’s only a page that promotes Microsoft Edge, and tries to lure users into getting Office 365 and apps from the Windows Store. And that’s annoying.
If you no longer want to see this, the Settings app starting with the Windows 10 Creators Update includes a new option that suppresses the welcome screen experience after a feature update or pre-release of Windows 10.
In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the easy steps to disable the welcome screen from showing up after every update.
How to disable the welcome screen on Windows 10
If you no longer want to see the Windows welcome experience, then use these steps:
- Open Settings.
- Click on System.
- Click on Notifications & actions.
- Under «Notifications,» turn off the Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and suggested toggle switch.
Once you completed the steps, after a feature update or after installing an Insider preview build, you’ll no longer see the welcome screen. Of course, this setting won’t be preserved if you’re doing a clean installation of Windows 10, as this process deletes your settings, apps, and files.
Alongside this experience, Microsoft Edge also shows you a welcome screen every time you launch the browser for the first. If you don’t want to see this experience either, you can disable Microsoft Edge’s «First Run» page using this guide.

Экран приветствия появился на устройствах под управлением Windows ещё в «восьмёрке». Некоторым пользователям он нравится, ну а остальные считают, что достаточно одного ввода пароля. Если вы хотите убрать экран приветствия на вашем компьютере, то воспользуйтесь одним из этих несложных способов.
Отключение через редактор локальной групповой политики
В первом случае вам потребуется открыть редактор локальной групповой политики через команду «Выполнить». Для этого нажмите на Win + R и введите в появившемся окошке gpedit.msc либо сделайте правый клик по кнопке «Пуск» и щёлкните на пункт «Выполнить». В открывшемся окне «Редактор локальной групповой политики» перейдите в меню «Административные шаблоны» → «Панель управления» → «Персонализация».
Щёлкните два раза по пункту «Запрет отображения экрана блокировки» и поставьте галочку на параметре «Включено». Нажмите на кнопку ОК. Чтобы проверить, сработал ли способ, введите Win + L на вашей клавиатуре. Если у вас сразу отображается экран ввода пароля, значит, всё получилось.
Отключение через редактор реестра
Если первый способ не сработал, то попробуйте отключить экран приветствия через редактор реестра. Ещё раз откройте его при помощи команды «Выполнить», как это было показано в первом способе, и введите regedit в появившимся окошке. В левом меню перейдите к HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → Policies → Microsoft → Windows. В правом — переведите курсор на пустое поле и нажмите на правую кнопку мыши. Выберите пункт «Создать параметр DWORD 32». Переименуйте параметр в NoLockScreen. Щёлкните по нему два раза и в значении укажите единицу. Нажмите на ОК.
Проверьте работоспособность этого метода, используя клавиши Win + L.
Если вы хотите убрать не только экран приветствия, но и настроить автоматический вход в систему без каких-либо паролей, то вам потребуется отключить экран блокировки. Чтобы это сделать, нужно убрать пароль вашей учётной записи. Не забудьте также убрать ПИН-код, если он есть. Для этого зайдите в «Параметры вашего ПК», выберите «Параметры входа» и удалите существующий ПИН.
Ну а если вы хотите оставить пароль на месте, но всё равно пропускать экран блокировки, то отключите автоматический вход в ваш аккаунт. Теперь компьютер после каждого включения будет сразу загружать ваш рабочий стол без каких-либо других отвлекающих элементов!

In this tutorial we will show you several ways to disable the login screen prompt in Windows 10/11 in order to log in to your computer without having to enter a password or PIN.
With every new Windows operating system, Microsoft makes security improvements to keep your computer and sensitive data private and secure. Thus, in Windows 10/11, in addition to the classic way of login to Windows by using a password, there is the possibility of gaining access to your system using a PIN or through your biometric data if your computer has a fingerprint reader.
Although using the above options to sign in to Windows helps maintain your privacy and the security of your device, some users, especially older people or those who don’t need to share their computer with others, find it inconvenient to type the password or PIN every time they start their computer.
If you belong to one of the above categories of users, or for any other reason you want to bypass the login screen and log in automatically to Windows 10, below we will show you how you can turn off the login screen and log in straight to Windows without having to enter your password or PIN.
How to Remove Login Password/PIN prompt in Windows 11/10.

2. Type regedit and press Enter to open Registry Editor.

* Note: If you don’t find the ‘AutoAdminLogon’ value, right-click on Winlogon key and select New -> String Value. Name the new value as AutoAdminLogon and press Enter.
b. Next, double-click on the DefaultUserName REG_SZ value, and type in the value data box your username. (e.g. «John» at this example). *

4a. Now, right-click on the Winlogon key on the left, and select New -> String Value.
4b. Name the new string as DefaultPassword and press Enter.

5. Close the Registry Editor and restart your PC to apply the change. *
* Note: To re-enable the login screen on Windows 10, set the AutoAdminLogon value from 1 to 0 and delete the DefaultUserName & DefaultPassword values.
