I do not like how with the latest update it is now required to hit Control Alt Delete in order to log in any time my computer goes to sleep. Why did this happen without me okaying it, and why is it so difficult to remove? Everything I have read is a 50 step process and requires an app to get rid of this feature that I didn't want. And it won't even give me the app needed to do it! How do I get rid of this unnecessary step?

Hello Kristyn Isaac,
You can disable "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete":
Win + R to open the Run dialog box and enter netplwiz in the box.![](data:image/svg+xml, %3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' height='64' class='font-weight-bold' style='font: 600 30.11764705882353px "SegoeUI", Arial' width='64'%3E%3Ccircle fill='hsl(297.6, 43%, 38%)' cx='32' cy='32' r='32' /%3E%3Ctext x='50%25' y='55%25' dominant-baseline='middle' text-anchor='middle' fill='%23FFF' %3ESO%3C/text%3E%3C/svg%3E)
Hi, I too have win 11 for Home and am severely annoyed by the Ctrl+Alt+Del requirement at login. Based on the instructions I found I did uncheck "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete" under Secure sign-in but it did not change it. Further instructions suggested that you may have to first turn it on, reboot before turning it back off, I did that too. Next suggestion was to open secpol.msc and change the setting there. My computer could not find that file and apparently that is only for professional version. I am hoping someone out there knows how to fix this, because it is super annoying. Thanks
Hi, I know this common issue well. As for Home edition, maybe you can try to edit the Registry Settings.
regedit to open Registry EditorHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\SystemDisableCAD, set its value to 1HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinlogonDisableCAD value to 1 (create if missing), then restart your PCWish you can get rid of this extra login step soon!
