How to Disable Windows 8 logon Screen
Microsoft had your security in mind while designing the Windows 8 operating system so you will have to always enter a password before you can have access to your Windows 8 Modern UI Metro Screen or desktop. The new Windows 8 logon screen is your first safety measure to keeping your data and files secure in case your computer falls into a wrong hand. The Windows 8 logon screen ensures you enter a password every time you want to use your computer but sometimes it could be a difficult task to enter password every time you want to use your computer.
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.
