In this article, we shall discuss how to Disable the Windows welcome screen and shutdown screen. The Custom Logon feature can be used to configure Windows 10 Welcome screen and shutdown screen. Here are some possibilities that custom logon offers. Kindly refer to these guides: How to install RSAT tools: DNS manager console missing from RSAT tools on Windows 10, and how to install RSAT on Windows 10 via Windows features.

To restrain the Welcome screen user interface and provide a custom logon user interface and also to restrain the Blocked Shutdown Resolver (BSDR) screen and automatically end applications while the OS waits for applications to close before a shutdown.

Also, see Handy Shutdown commands available in Windows, “How to prevent users from shutting down in a Virtual Machine“, and “How to prevent a remote shutdown and restart in Windows“.
