Removing login screen

Question

Our team developing an information display system by using Windows 8.1 as operating system. The computer is configured as auto login and executing our custom program automatically. We have an requirement for showing black screen until the custom program is run. The BIOS message is disabled by customized firmware and windows logo is disabled by following script:

       bcdedit /set {globalsettings} custom:16000067 true

       bcdedit /set {globalsettings} custom:16000068 true

       bcdedit /set {globalsettings} custom:16000069 true

        As a result, most of the information is hidden but the user login screen is shown during auto login process. I would like to know that how to disable all boot message during the computer booting up just similar behavior as enabling "No GUI boot" option in Windows 7.

Answer 2

The suggested command is applied and the system can be auto login to windows. But the problem is that user requested to suppress the animation of login. They expected that the screen is blank during the login process.

Answer 3

What about using NETPLWIZ to set Automatic login of the user account, so it logs directly in and goes to the desktop (and then launches any startup program you have set).

Answer 4

First of all, thanks for your reply. I know that the given option is still exist in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, but the problem is that the login screen still cannot be suppressed even this option is checked.

Answer 5

If that option does what you need, good news: the "No GUI Boot" option still exists in Windows 10, just open up MS Config to set it.
