CTRL-ALT-DELETE option blocked out Windows 8.1
Apologies if this is in the wrong section
I went through the Control UserPasswords2 options panel to enable the CTRL-ALT-DELETE option on my laptop, but the option is blocked out and I cannot click it, I have never had any problem with this in any earlier Windows version, is this because I do not have Windows 8.1 Pro?
I have included a snip of the window with the option blocked out
OS: Windows 8.1 x64

I always though CTRL-ALT-DEL was strictly for domain logons, and you need windows 8 pro or enterprise to join a domain?

Apologies for the very late reply.
I tried the option you suggested, but the box is still grayed out and no CTRL-ALT-DEL option comes up on my sign in screen.
