[QUOTE="Jack, post: 219210, member: 1"] The lock screen in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 looks great, however if you are using a non-touch computer this can be a little annoying. Unfortunately Microsoft it is not offering an easy solution to disable the lock screen. In this guide, we will disable the lock screen from Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
