Sign In

Why do I have to log in into my single user Windows 10 desktop? And before I can sign in, I also have to click on an ugly lock screen image, which for some reason displays unasked for advertisement. Why do I have to sign in each time I close laptop lid or after screen goes dark?

You can probably disable unwanted functionality with iterative crippling-uncrippling.

"I am almost sure that I configured the settings to do that before, but I cannot find it. Maybe it was on WinXP."

"I think that the real answer here is that Microsoft (and other companies, like Apple) have engineered out these simple features (locked balance control, mono output) because most people don't use the controls. They pretty much ignore the fact that for everone with a hearing imbalance (not uncommon by the way...) these tools are critical. "

They call those "bugs".

``The Windows API is so broad, so deep, and so functional that most Independent Software Vendors would be crazy not to use it. And it is so deeply embedded in the source code of many Windows apps that there is a huge switching cost to using a different operating system instead... It is this switching cost that has given the customers the patience to stick with Windows through all our mistakes, our buggy drivers, our high TCO (total cost of ownership), our lack of a sexy vision at times, and many other difficulties [...] Customers constantly evaluate other desktop platforms, [but] it would be so much work to move over that they hope we just improve Windows rather than force them to move. In short, without this exclusive franchise called the Windows API, we would have been dead a long time ago.'' ^[1]
