Thanks for reaching out, Perry! Try to replace the lock screen with a screensaver instead

This bypasses the Windows lock screen UI (and its clock) entirely.

Steps

Settings → Accounts → Sign-in options

Set “Require sign-in” to:

  • Never (or When PC wakes from sleep → Off)

Open Control Panel

Go to:

  • Appearance and Personalization → Change screen saver

Choose a screensaver (Blank is best)

Set Wait time

Uncheck “On resume, display logon screen”

Result

No lock screen

No time/date

Screen turns black or shows screensaver instead

Works on Windows 11 Home & Pro, no registry edits, survives Windows updates.

See if this helps. If you need further assistance just let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly
