Windows Welcome Screen: Locked & Logged On. How to Skip

February 08th, 2012 - 01:04 am ET by Monica | Report spam
I'm the only user of my laptop. No kids at home and hubby is computer
challenged :)
When I turn on my Win 7 laptop and before I can get into Windows, there is a
blue screen, icon in the middle and my name below it. Sometimes below my
name it will say "locked" and "switch user" is below that. All I have to do
is click on the icon and I'm in Windows. Sometimes instead of "locked", it
says Monica "logged on". Again, I just click on the icon to enter Windows.
I didn't create any password (and I'm not asked for one) and there are no
other accounts on this computer. Can I bypass this screen so the computer
can just go straight into Windows without any input from me? The answer has
GOT to be staring me in the face but I'm not finding it.
Thanks,
Monica

You didn't turn OFF your laptop. You probably just closed the lid and that put it into the sleep
mode. Pressing the ON button wakes the computer up and resumes where you left off.
Change the Power settings in the Control Panel to turn off the laptop when you close the lid.
