When you start your computer or wake it up from the sleep mode, you will be first presented by the Lock Screen before going to the Login Screen to enter your password.

Some users complain that they have clicked the lock screen, but sometimes it is non-responsive. If you fine the lock screen unnecessary or even troublesome, or you want to speed up the login process, NoLockScreen is a particularly useful tool to help you disable the lock screen in your Windows computer. We are going to explain how it works in this WiseCleaner article.
