Hmm... it seems my previous reply was automatically deleted or hidden by the forum after I attempted to edit in a link. Apparently, I can't post links because I don't have enough post numbers with my account. Is there any way I can share the DLL in question so that I can get it patched up? The lock screen is really annoying. Version number is 10.0.14393.206, much earlier than the supported versions listed for v6.
I only installed whatever Windows Update installs automatically. Actually, if it were my choice, I would have never updated (to 1607), but Win10 forces updates anyway, so here I am. I get nothing newer after checking for updates, so this is the version I'm on, and the version I hope to be able to get rid of the annoying lock screen.
I just rechecked Windows Update again, and what do you know suddenly there are new updates available. When I replied just earlier, it said everything was up to date. Damned MS, playing me for a fool. Anyway, the now updated DLL version is indeed .953, and has been successfully patched. Thank you for your help!
So, this doesnt work with RS2 Final... So, I have to improvise .00000001`800051D2: 410F95C1 setnz r9b To .00000001`800051D2: 410F94C1 setz r9b The only thing you need to do is modify the LogonController.dll, modify its permissions, make a backup and replace the modified file takeown /f %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogonController.dll && icacls %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogonController.dll /grant "%USERNAME%":f copy %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogonController.dll %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\LogonController.dll.ORG And you are good to go!. It doesnt matters what Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\AllowLockScreen have. EDIT Tested on Pro, Enterprise and Education 1703 (15063.0)
So I am perplexed...now that MS again allows us to use group policy editor to remove the lock screen is there any reason modify system files to do the same?
If you are talking about the "Do not display the lock screen" in group policy, remember this Note: This setting only applies to Enterprise, Education, and Server SKUs.
This does get rid of the lock screen when the computer wakes from sleep. However, I just restarted my laptop and there was the lock screen, visible with the "spinner" for a couple of seconds before auto login kicked in. This is on Enterprise RS2 15063.
On Enterprise (and not Pro) you get rid of the lockscreen with this simple reg entry: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization] "NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001
It's official !!! After installing creator's update (version 1703 - build 15063.138) the LockScreenGone patch stopped working (again) !!!! PLZ, FIX, if you can find time. THANX.
