Disable Windows Lock Screen (Win+L)

I've been using AutoHotkey scripts to create hot key shortcuts for my routine tasks. Today, I want to use the Win+L key to perform a more complicated task in SketchUp. But as soon as I press the Win+L key combo, my Windows computer locked up.

This is a computer that I use personally with no other users. And I have already enabled auto-login on this computer with no password. I really don't need the lock screen to hinder my work.

After searching around, I found that you can create a registry entry to disable the lock screen on Windows 10. After doing so and testing it successfully on Windows 11, I exported that key so we can simply double click on the reg file to apply the change. The file is attached below.

If you try it on other Windows versions, let us know if it works.

To re-enable the Windows lock screen functionality, use the following attached registry file.
