![]() ![]() If you’ve already modified the registry, applying the cumulative update will automatically revert the changes and re-enable the new Start Menu. As a result, it’s impossible to restore live tiles and users now must use the new Start Menu without the fancy live tiles, which were first introduced with Windows 8.Īccording to our tests, the registry hack has been removed with Windows 11 Build 22000.65 from all editions/SKUs of the operating systems. However, as part of the latest update, the company has disabled the Registry hack to restore the classic Start Menu interface. The hack is simple: You need to enable a key in Registry and restart Explorer.exe to restore the classic Start menu, replacing the modern Windows 11 one entirely. With Windows 11, Microsoft has dropped support for live tiles in favour of static icons and Windows 8-era metro experience is officially gone.Īlthough live tiles have been disabled, the community recently discovered a way to bring the classic Start menu back. It comes with a centered Start menu and taskbar icons, followed by redesigned quick actions, refreshed icons and rounded corners across the operating system. Windows 11 is reminiscent of the recently cancelled Windows 10X. But remember, you do this tweak at your own risk.Windows 11’s biggest changes are to the taskbar and the Start menu. The Command Prompt is easier and quicker than the Registry Editor tweak – of the two, it can automatically sign in your account – make sure you change the password policy in PC Settings so you won’t have to log in again. Activate the Sleep (on my keyboard, it’s Fn key + F4), wake the computer, and check if the login screen still appears. Exit the PC Settings and restart your computer. The dialog box confirms whether you still want to make changes. ![]() Click the “Sign-in options,” and then choose “Change” under Password Policy.ģ. From Start Menu, type in the Search bar “users” – choose the “Account users.”Ģ. The solution? Hack our way to “Password Policy”ġ. In a nutshell, unless you do the next steps, the tweaks above only work after startup. However, if you wake the PC, you’ll encounter the login screen again, requiring you to enter the password. I don’t have to enter them every now and then. I checked the values of username, password, and autoadminlogon (notice the value of AutoAdminLogon below is 0 I had to change it to 1) one more time and restarted the system.Īnd finally, Windows 8 automatically signed in my username and password. However, I checked the Registry Editor and went back to the same path above – these folders (CurrentVersion and Winlogon) have lists of strings and values, which I didn’t find when I created them (e.g Winlogon key). Note: On my first attempt, it didn’t affect my system. Close the Registry Editor and restart/reboot your computer. Lastly, create a new string for the password and label it “DefaultPassword” – edit the value and type your password. Once created, modify the value – right-click and change it to 1.ġ0. Next, in that same folder, create a new string value and label it “AutoAdminLogon.”ĩ. The format is: MicrosoftAccount\yourusername.Ĩ. Under the “Winlogon” key, create a new string – hover the mouse to “New” and choose “String Value” and label it with your default username. Next, to create the sub-key, right-click the “CurrentVersion” folder, then hover to “New” and choose “Key.” Label it “Winlogon.”ħ. Right-click the “Windows NT” folder, then hover the mouse to “New” and choose “Key.” Label the key “CurrentVersion.”Ħ. Note: if you can’t find the “CurrentVersion” key, you need to create a folder first to keep the sub-key “Winlogon” (assuming you can’t find it, proceed to the next step).ĥ. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon ![]()
