If you are a miner, you want your rigs to be stable and with as high uptime as possible. Sometimes after rig reboot, Windows will show a Microsoft login prompt or “Welcome experience” as they call it. For us, miners, that welcome experience can be quite annoying as it prevents the PC or a mining rig to enter Windows Desktop, thus preventing starting the miner. Luckily, there is a very simple way of disabling any Windows pre-initialization screen.
