How to Enable New Logon Screen in Windows 10 Build 9926

Enable Updated New Logon Screen for Windows 10

Before telling you the procedure, let me alert you that you would face some problems like malfunctioning of sign out option and switch user option. So be tricky enough and be sure at any situation you can revert the procedure. It is a best practice to create a Windows recovery image or make a system restore point manually, before going into the next step.

Open registry editor. You would be asked for administrative credentials at the time of opening Windows registry editor. It is the best practice to always open registry editor with admin privilege so that you can take full advantage of it and make changes wherever you would love to.

Next, go to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\TestHooks

At the right pane you will find a Dword (32 bit) value i.e. ‘Threshold’.

Double-click on ‘Threshold’ and change it’s hexadecimal value from 0 to 1.

Exit Windows Registry editor.

Now restart your PC and you will find a complete new logon screen (see the below picture).

Note: This tweak affects the Ctrl + Alt + Delete option. So be careful enough before applying that change to your Windows 10 PC. Don’t forget to take backup of registry files before making any changes.

To get the old Windows logon screen back, just change the hexadecimal value of ‘Threshold’ from ‘1’ to ‘o’ and save it.
