Values

The following table shows the possible values. You can combine these values using bitwise exclusive-OR logic to disable multiple Welcome screen UI elements.

The default value is 17, which disables all Welcome screen UI elements and the Switch user button.

Value Description

1

Disables all Welcome screen UI elements.

2

Disables the Power button.

4

Disables the Language button.

8

Disables the Ease of access button.

16

Disables the Switch user button.

32

Disables the blocked shutdown resolver (BSDR) screen so that restarting or shutting down the system causes the OS to immediately force close any applications that are blocking system shut down. No UI is displayed and users are not given a chance to cancel the shutdown process. This can result in a loss of data if any open applications have unsaved data.
