disable windows 11 start menu appearing after login

Question

Everytime I unlock my computer the start menu opens. How can I disable this ?

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

I'm sorry this may be by design, there is no relevant group policy or registry to modify this setting.

However, through my search, refer to the following discussion link: How do I stop the Windows 10 start menu from opening upon login to Windows? - Super User

Create a Windows Hibernate Keyboard Shortcut or Desktop / Taskbar Icon (trickyways.com)

You may try to set a hotkey combination to achieve that the "Start" menu will not appear after unlocking the computer.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,

Hello，

You may also try the following:

For the mouse, RIGHT click the start menu and Shutdown or sign out then sleep this way start menu will not be there

On touch just hold your finger on the start menu until it does the same as a mouse RIGHT click then go to the same place which is Shutdown or sign out then sleep.
