Disable ctrl+alt+del login In (Windows 10 Home)

Hello,

I have Windows 10 Home, and on one of the last updates, all of the sudden, I MUST go through >>> ctr+alt+del, and once that screen clears, then enter my password. I DO NOT need feature!

How do I disable the ctrl+alt+del portion of the login?

Thank you!

Hi POTUS1

Click your Start Button, then just type netplwiz and hit Enter

Click on the Advanced Tab

At the bottom of that tab, in the 'Secure Login' section, you should be able to turn off that requirement . .

Hi I'm Peter an independent advisor, It's important to keep your PC as secure as possible. One way to do this is to enable secure sign-in, which requires users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete on the lock screen before signing in. This guarantees that the authentic Windows sign-in screen appears, protecting the system from programs that mimic a sign-in to retrieve password information.

1. Press the Win+R keys to open Run, type netplwiz, and click/tap on OK.

2. Click/tap on the Advanced tab, and check (on) or uncheck (off) the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete box under Secure sign-in for what you want set, and click/tap on OK.

Unfortunately, your solution DOES NOT work for Windows 10 Home.

In Windows 10 Home, the, "Secure sign-in" option is greyed out.

Thanks!

Hi POTUS1

Is you PC supplied by a company or organisation, that option should not be grayed out on the Home version, unless it is disabled by an administrator . . .

If that option is grayed out on Windows 10 Home on your PC, please try the solution posted to this thread, though that solution refers to Windows 7, it is also viable for Windows 10. .

Was it greyed out? Try:

open Run, type Control Userpasswords2 and hit Enter to open the User Accounts Properties box. Open the Advanced tab, and in the Secure logon section, click to clear the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete check box if you want to disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE sequence. Click Apply/OK > Exit.

If greyed out:

Run secpol.msc and hit Enter.

In the left pane, select Local Policies > Security Options. Now in the right pane, double click on Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL. Enable the policy as per your requirement, click Apply/OK and Exit.

It is greyed out and the 2nd option does not work.

Searching for the file, "secpol.msc"returns the error message, "Windows cannot find 'secpol.msc " Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

Can you check the following two registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

At each registry key, in the right window, is there, under "Name", a DisableCAD value?

If so, for each value, what is listed under "Data"?
