Resolved problems after update to win10 1607

My computer has just been updated to win10 v1607 and I am having the following problems.
The lock screen has reappeared and trying some of the suggestions on the internet like using the Task Scheduler has not cured the problem.
Another problem that has arisen is the blue strip at the top of internet explorer and google chrome is now a vivid blue is there anyway to tone it down to a more acceptable level ?
I am running win10 pro 64bit.
any help would be very welcome as win10 seems to be taking more control away form us with every update.
many thanks for any replies in advance.

 

What version build of 1607 are you running? 14393.693 is running OK in mine.

 

I am running the same version as yourself , I have managed to tone down the color in personalise your desktop. but I am still having a problem with the lock screen

 

I have come to terms with the lock screen for now by putting a picture of my wife and dog on it so at least it keeps her at home happy.
Thanks for all the replies

 

How to Disable the Lock Screen on Windows 10 « Windows Tips

 

I have tried this method but it did not work for me

 

I did not fully understand it and I was rather concerned that I might make a serious mistake and cause bigger problems.

 

Hi alboy, Do you want to Start your comp and not have to sign in to your MS account or do you want to REMOVE the Lock screen? I use the netplwiz method and the lock screen shows for a couple of seconds and then goes straight to my Desktop. From Start to Desktop takes about 15 to 20 seconds. Let's know what you want to achieve.

 

On startup I just want to go straight to the login screen as I did before the 1607 update and not to have to deal with the lock screen I know it may be a small thing but it annoys me that the lock screen is being forced on me without the option to disable it. The new Honda Jazz available in the UK has the same problem with not being able to disable the auto lights as you could on the previous model it is taking more and more choices away from the user as though we cant be trusted to make the right choice what they forget is that it is the customer who always pays and should not be treated like an idiot who can't make their own decisions.

 

Hi PeteC
The solution you describe is the one that I was previously using but it no longer works after the win10 1607 update.
Many thanks for all the helpful replies

 

hi Evan
I took the plunge and tried the method you described with the DLL patch but it would not run as it kept saying that the DLL on my computer was wrong and it would not run

 

Have a read through this link - it's fairly long. The author has made patches from the original method in Evan's link. Disable the Windows 10 Lock Screen (Anniversary Update) - gHacks Tech News

 

I still can't get it to work but my "wife" has decided to leave the lock screen as she likes the picture of her and my dog together, many thanks to all who tried to help but my wife considers the problem solved !!
