One thing is for sure, disabling the welcome screen doesn’t open the invitation for remote users to hack into your computer.
They’re concerned that remote users will be able to log in to their computers if a password is no longer necessary or if they skip the Welcome screen somehow.
Oh, this one is a question I get a lot when proposing this simple “bypass surgery” to customers. What’s most annoying is that Windows doesn’t include the option to disable the Welcome screen in a place that’s easy to find. When you’ve got to run, it’s torture to come back from the kitchen after preparing breakfast and finding that your operating system didn’t even bother to finish booting.
Not only is it annoying, but it’s yet another obstacle to your day especially when you’re in a hurry.
The most annoying phenomenon in any person’s day is probably when they notice that, all of a sudden, Windows has decided to show a Welcome screen and make you click on your username to log in.
