All Ping

Some people have complained about this in forums and some have asked me directly how they can disable Windows 8 logon screen so they won’t have to enter password every time they want to use their system. Disabling the Windows 8 logon screen will allow your computer to boot directly to the Modern UI metro screen or desktop whenever you boot your computer without you having to enter a password.

But this will also make your computer accessible to all who will lay their hands on it, but if you are VERY sure your computer has no risk of falling into the wrong hands, then you can disable Windows 8 logon screen on your computer so you won’t have to enter a password every time you log in to your computer.

How to Disable Windows 8 Logon Screen

Follow the guide I am about to share with you to disable Windows 8 logon screen on your computer running any version of Windows 8 operating system so you won’t have to enter a password every time you want to use your computer.

1. Move your mouse to the lower or upper right hand corner of your desktop till the Charms bar slides out.

2. Click on the Search button on the Charms bar to open the search panel.

3. Type “netplwiz” (without quotes) in the Modern UI’s Search charm and hit the ‘Enter’ key on your keyboard. The “User Accounts” control panel will open.

Note you may be prompted to enter your password.

4. Then un-check the “Users must enter a username and passwords to use this computer” box as indicated on the image below.

5. Enter your password once and then a second time to confirm it.

6. Click ‘Apply’ and then OK below to confirm your actions and save.

7. Then restart your computer and this time it will boot straight to Modern UI metro screen or desktop without having to ask you for your password again.

You can also follow the same process to re-enable the Windows 8 logon screen by checking the “Users must enter a username and passwords to use this computer” box we unchecked above.

Go to Google Now menu > Settings > Voice and tick ‘Hotword detection’. After this, to run a search by voice just say ‘Google [your search query]‘.

6. Personal Search For Photos

How’s this for some personal assistant touch? If you regularly upload photos to your Google+ you can search through your photos via Google. For example if you really love going ot the beach and have a lot of photos of the beach, just search for ‘my photos of beaches’ to get the photos you are looking for. Currently, this is only available in the US and if you are logged in to your Google+ account.

7. Google Now TV Cards

Google Now TV Cards is for the movie trivia fans who incidentally own a Smart TV. If Google Now is on a device that is connected to the same Wi-Fi your Smart TV is connected to, you can tap on the microphone then say "Listen to TV" to trigger relevant information with regards to the TV show. You may get information about the production of the show, and trivia about the actors or the cast itself etc.
