How to get classic login screen?

Is there anyway to get the classic login screen ? I really prefer the one
where you need to type in your login name and password instead of getting a
list of available users.

The classic logon screen is gone. Here is information from the Amazing

How do I force users to type their username and password to log in and
remove the welcome screen?

You can remove the list of user accounts from the welcome screen and
force the user to type in a user account and password to log in by
changing the following setting:

* Press start
* Type: local security policy
* Press enter
* Expand local policies
* Click Security Options
* Double-click "Interactive Login: Do not display last user name"
* Check Enabled
* Click OK

Note that the "welcome screen" is still displayed, but its behavior with
this setting enabled is similar to the functionality of the old-style
login dialog box.

You cannot go back to the old-style login dialog box. The new welcome
screen completely replaces this functionality.
