Tired of being forced to click through Windows 8's lock screen before you get to Start Screen? Here's is how to bypass it.
Boot your PC or wake it from sleep, and you go straight to Window 8's lock screen, which looks more like the screen you'd expect to see on your smartphone than on a PC. It tells you the time and date, and a variety of timely information-meetings taken from calender, updates from social networking sites, Email notification and other similar information.
That's all very nice but if you're on a PC, you probably want to get straight to work, And that means getting to Start Screen faster. If you like, you can bypass the lock screen.
For tablet users, you may find the lock screen more useful, since you may want to glance at your calender or social networking sites while you're on the go.
To do it, you have to use the Local Policy Editor.
1. Launch Local Policy Editor by pressing Windows key+R to open Run bar, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter or click OK. The local Policy Editor launches.
2. Go to Computer Configuration >> Administratives Templates.
3. Click on Control Panel >> Personalization. Double click on "Do not display the lock screen" entry. Select Enabled, then press Enter or click OK.
Exit the Local Policy Editor.
4. Exit the policy Editor, then reboot.
The new setting should take effect immediately. The next turn you reboot or wake your PC, you wont see the Lock Screen. Instead, you'll go straight into logging into Windows 8.
The Local Policy Editor comes only with Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8 Enterprise. But you can still turn off the Lock screen in any version of Windows 8 by using a Registry hack.
Which We'll see in my next blog.
Please comments if you have any problem. Stay connected for latest in Hacking, Windows and Android Tricks ;D.
Thank You,
