You will learn to navigate through the necessary steps to bypass the Lock and Sign-in screens, install essential third-party software, and create a console-style gaming setup.

With the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) on Windows 11, you can transform your PC into a console-like environment. However, typically, signing in manually is required to access your account and enter this experience. Thankfully, there exists a method to skip the Lock and Sign-in screens, allowing you to dive straight into your gaming experience. This guide will walk you through the entire process.

If your goal is to switch on your computer and be taken directly to the Xbox Full Screen Experience, you can configure Windows 11 for automatic sign-in with either a local user account or a Microsoft account.

Upon completing these initial configurations, you will also need to enable Xbox Full Screen Experience. As of now, this feature primarily supports handheld gaming PCs, prompting the need for a third-party tool to activate it on your system.

This guide outlines the essential steps to help you set up Windows 11 in such a way that you boot directly to the Xbox Full Screen Experience without having to enter your login credentials.
