Windows 8 - Unlock the lock screen trick
A lock screen is nice and pretty for a tablet and all, and perhaps for a little privacy in the office, but for your desktop at home it’s a barrier requiring more keyboard or mouse interaction just to use your PC. Save some sanity, time and RSI in your hand by disabling it.
Tap Windows key+R to bring up the ‘Run’ dialogue box.
Type in gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Navigate to ‘Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization’.
Double-click on the ‘Do not display the lock screen’ setting.
Toggle it to ‘Enabled’ and click ‘OK’.
Of course, you’ll still be presented with the login screen, which you may want to keep if more than one person uses your computer. However, if this is redundant for you, it can also be bypassed.
