2. Open a CMD window as TrustedInstaller via PsExec64 or ExecTI and copy and paste the following commands:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId\Windows.Internal.UI.Logon.Controller.ConsoleBlockedShutdownResolver /v DllPath /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\System32\ConsoleLogonHook.dll /f

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId\Windows.Internal.UI.Logon.Controller.ConsoleLockScreen /v DllPath /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\System32\ConsoleLogonHook.dll /f

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId\Windows.Internal.UI.Logon.Controller.ConsoleLogonUX /v DllPath /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\System32\ConsoleLogonHook.dll /f

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId\Windows.Internal.Shell.PlatformExtensions.ConsoleCredUX /v DllPath /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\System32\ConsoleLogonHook.dll /f

or merge the regkey in the release zip as trusted installer.

3. Take ownership of the file Windows.UI.Logon.dll and rename it to something else. Example: Windows.UI.Logon.dll.bak, this is required as it will force the use of the console logon screen.
