One way of adding one more layer of security to your Windows computer is by enabling secure logon. By enabling secure logon, users are required to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before they can enter their credentials and log on.
Secure logon – Ctrl+Alt+Del
Secure logon offers a keystroke sequence that cannot be intercepted by any application. When Secure Logon is enabled, no other malicious program can intercept your user name and password as you enter it. (NOTE: Please read comment below).
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del ensures that the authentic Windows logon screen appears. To enable secure logon, open Run, type Control Userpasswords2 or netplwiz and hit Enter to open the User Accounts Properties box.
Open the Advanced tab, and in the Secure logon section, click to clear the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete check box if you want to disable the CTRL+ALT+DELETE sequence. Click Apply/OK > Exit.
Now the next time to logon you will see your Windows 8 lock screen with the following display in the top-left corner.
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will allow you to enter your Windows logon password. Pc gamer fallout 4 mods.

Disable CTRL+ALT+DELETE using Group Policy
If you wish, you can also enforce this policy, using the Local Security Policy. To do so, Run secpol.msc and hit Enter.

In the left pane, select Local Policies > Security Options. Now in the right pane, double click on Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL.
This security setting determines whether pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL is required before a user can log on. If this policy is enabled on a computer, a user is not required to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on. Not having to press CTRL+ALT+DEL leaves users susceptible to attacks that attempt to intercept the users’ passwords. Requiring CTRL+ALT+DEL before users log on ensures that users are communicating by means of a trusted path when entering their passwords. If this policy is disabled, any user is required to press CTRL+ALT+DEL before logging on to Windows.
Enable or Disable the policy as per your requirement, click Apply/OK and Exit.
By default, the policy is enabled on Windows 8/10 domain-computers, and disabled on Windows 7 or earlier. The policy is enabled by default on stand-alone computers.
Disable Secure Logon using Registry
Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

I recently ran autoruns and disabled some things from running at startup such as cloud storage, Bluetooth, Plex. I used filters and hid all Microsoft items.
Now on the lockscreen Control+Alt+Delete do not do anything and I am locked out of my computer.
I have not been able to access Safe Mode by pushing any possible F key for months either. The only way I can is through msconfig. If there is a way to access msconfig without loading windows please let me know.
Thanks,

UPDATE!!!
I just discovered a System Image of the computer I am locked out of on one of my external usb backup drives. It was created on 6/11/17 so that is pretty close to the date I got locked out. I have not yet restored a system created with Reflect so any advice on making that smooth as can be would be appreciated.
Mostly, I want to know how to disable Control+Alt+Delete so this never happens again. There is no need for it on my home pc which at this point is basically acting as a media server.
Thanks,

Ctrl Alt Del Not Working Windows 8 1 Activation Key Free
Programs sometimes crash. That's why we use windows and not Mac right hehehe. Anyway when programs crash I usually just press ctrl + alt + del if Alt + f4 doesn't seem to do anything. After selecting the task manager I re log in and right click the program at the taskbar to close it. If that doesn't work I end the process and try the program/game that crashed all over again.
Recently however when I press ctrl + alt + del in said circumstance and select task manager I re log in to a black screen with the taskbar beneath and the mouse only visible over the task bar. When I right click the crashed program to close it it flashes yellow signifying that there has been a pop up to ask me if I really want to close it but that pop up is not visible because of the black screen. I hate to restart the PC everytime a silly program/game crashes. I could lose progress in another program if I have left it unsaved..
