Hi dear support.

I have a XBOX ROG ALLY X running Windows 11 PRO, And i would like it to boot directly into my game library when i turn it on.

  1. I find it a bit immersion breaking, Having to look at a log in screen (sorry)
  2. Second i'm having a problem where the keypad to enter the digits of my pin code dissapers before i can type all the numbers of my pin code, Which forces me to use the on-screen keybord to type it (Pretty annoying).

Can i use the group policy editor to disable both the password requirement (I don't even think i have one?)

And also the windows hello pin verification?

I'm the only user of this device (So i'm not bothered). And besides that, I only have games installed on it (Defenitely no naughty stuff) :)

Many regards from me.

    To disable the lock screen on Windows 11 Pro and bypass the password requirement, you can use the Group Policy Editor. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Disable the Lock Screen:
      • Open the Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the Run dialog (press Windows + R to open Run).
      • Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.
      • Find the setting named Do not display the lock screen and set it to Enabled.
    2. Disable Password Requirement on Wakeup:
      • In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
      • Look for Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL and set it to Enabled.
      • Also, find Require a password on wakeup and set it to Disabled.
    3. Disable Windows Hello PIN Verification:
      • If you want to disable Windows Hello, go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and under Manage how you sign in to your device, you can remove the PIN option if it is set.

    After making these changes, your device should boot directly to the desktop without showing the lock screen or requiring a password. Remember to restart your device for the changes to take effect.
