Windows 10 has a lock screen which automatically synchronizes with Bing to offer featured content and also Cortana is incorporated to offer certain types of elements such as news, featured applications and more. For many users this is no problem, but for others it is certainly a cause of discomfort.
The screen lock helps us protect our equipment when we have it in a shared place like an office and we have personal information or work that is dangerous to be damaged. However, if only we use the computer it can bother us to have to constantly unlock the screen , so it is important to know how to put or remove this option..
This is why TechnoWikis will explain how we can enable or disable this lock screen in Windows 10.
