So is there any way to get rid of the photo and go straight to the login screen. I know it's only one keystroke to get rid of it but it annoys me.
If you have updated to the Anniversary Edition it cannot be disabled. If not you can Google disable Win 10 lock screen and there are many articles on it but if I recall correctly you do have to make changes in the registry.
--------------------
It's very very easy to disable the Win 10 lock screen. No need for registry editing....
How to disable the Windows 10 lock screen
Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run window.
In the Run window, type: netplwiz
Click OK.
Click your account within the Users for this computer field.
Click the checkbox (take check mark out of the box) beside Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. ...
Click Apply.
The question was not how to disable the lock screen and I did word my response incorrectly which mislead you. Yes you can disable the lock screen but you cannot eliminate the picture screen prior to the lock screen with the anniversary edition.
