I don't want to get the of the lock screen. If I hit Windows+L I want it to go directly to the lock screen. Instead, it goes to a background screen that I have to click or otherwise interact with to get to the lock screen - I can't just start typing my password! The same thing happens if I power up my computer out of sleep.
I have looked under Settings -> Lock Screen
and I can see where I can change the picture for this background, but not how to skip this screen entirely.
I don't know what this extra background screen is called, but I want to get rid of it! How do I do this? I used to have it configured this way, but when I applied the Windows Anniversary Update yesterday it reverted to putting this annoying extra screen in the way.

registry edit should help. See y'days post on this topic How can I make Windows 10 show the password textbox at startup, rather than that picture with the time & date? - Super User1Possible duplicate?? – Moab – 2016-08-03T18:03:11.573
@w32sh I tried the registry answer you provided in that question, only to discover that key already exists and has a value of 1! – Michael – 2016-08-03T18:11:40.850
Interesting! The registry based policy (as well as the GPO setting) not working here after installing Anniversary update. I can confirm that. – w32sh – 2016-08-03T18:11:58.983
1@w32sh That GPO stopped working in Home/Pro with the Anniversary update;, it's now an Enterprise/Edu GPO only. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-08-03T18:25:43.983
@ Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Yep. Heard that. but thought the registry edit would work..but didn't. – w32sh – 2016-08-03T18:32:01.413
@w32sh with 1607 the entry has no effect on Home/Pro only Enterprise/Education – magicandre1981 – 2016-08-05T03:46:00.047
