Windows 11 has a new lock screen feature that displays various images on the screen even before logging into the PC or laptop. However, for some users, the lock screen is just an additional nuisance in their daily routine. If you’re one of them, there is good news: disabling the lock screen on Windows 11 is very simple. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Click on the Start button located at the far left of the taskbar.

Step 2: Click on the Settings icon (gear-shaped) in the start menu.

Step 3: Scroll down the Settings page and click on the Personalization option.

Step 4: On the Personalization page, click on Lock Screen located in the menu on the left.

Step 5: Click on the drop-down menu under the Background section and select Picture or Slideshow instead of Windows Spotlight.

Step 6: Once you’ve selected Picture, click on Browse and select any image from your computer that you want to use as the lock screen background.

Step 7: If you selected Slideshow, select the folder that contains images you want to include in the slideshow.

Step 8: Once you’ve completed the above steps, restart your computer to apply the changes.

Now, when you start your computer, you’ll no longer see the lock screen. Your chosen image will immediately appear on your background as soon as the computer boots up.

If you change your mind and would like to re-enable the lock screen on your Windows 11 computer, simply follow the same steps above and select Windows Spotlight as the Background type in step 5.

In summary, disabling the lock screen on Windows 11 is a breeze with just a few clicks. Now you can enjoy a quicker start-up process for your computer without the need to swipe up or click to enter your password.
