The Group Policy Editor allows advanced control over system behavior and is the recommended way to disable the lock screen on supported editions.
Note:
Step 1: Run Local Group Policy Editor.
Step 2: Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization. Then you can find Do not display the lock screen value on the right pane.
Step 3: Double-click Do not display the lock screen. Select Enabled, then click Apply and OK. After that, you can reboot the computer to check whether the lock screen is disabled.
For the Windows 10 Home users, they can disable the lock screen by renaming the system app responsible for it.
