I have a new computer running Windows 10 pro Version 2009, Build 19044.1586. On startup I am confronted with a pretty picture screen. When I click on it, it jumps to a screen that simply shows the word "Login" in a box. Clicking on the box sends me to my home screen. I have tried a dozen methods for getting rid of these screens without success. Many of the recommended methods call for actions that do not exist on my computer. Any ideas? This does not happen on my laptop which will open with my home screen. There's gotta be a way.
Eliminate startup picture and login screens

You can't eliminate them completely, you have to be able to login. Go to Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen, this is the screen you see when you power on or lock the computer.
Change the Background to 'Picture' and select an image to show - you can use your own photo or one of the supplied images.
Turn off 'Fun facts, tips & tricks', unless you like them of course.
Turn on 'Show lock screen background picture on sign in screen'.
Then, when you power on, you'll see the image you selected and when you press a key or click the mouse the sign-in box will appear on this image. I believe that's about as simple as you can make it and still stay secure (with a login).
You can setup Windows to login automatically (Google it) but I don't recommend it.

Logon Password or Pin
I would like to totally remove the login password and Password option. "Neplwiz" does not work and I have already tried many suggestions from Google in the last couple of weeks without success. I live on my own and no one else is using my laptop. No one will break into my house and steal the pc...
Thanks for reply Dave, but I do not want to substitute another picture for the one Microsoft gives me. What I want to do is have the computer open to my desktop without any intermediate steps. As it is, I am initially confronted with the Microsoft picture. When I click on it, I get a new screen which has a button on it that says "Login". It does not ask for ID or password. Clicking on that button takes me to my desktop screen. None of the solutions that Google turned up has worked.
Your recommendation worked! Those screens are gone after bootup. However, those screens still appear when the system recovers from sleep mode. I Googled this problem and found several Windows 10 solutions, all involving Settings menu items "Sign-in Options" or "Lock Screen" that don't appear to exist on my computer. Any ideas?
