[[Image:Win7logon.png|thumb|right|The welcome screen in [[Windows 7]], which is very similar to that of Windows Vista, has been redesigned from that in Windows XP.]]
 
In Windows Vista and other NT operating systems based on it (such as [[Windows Server 2008]] and [[Windows 7]], most Ctrl+Alt+Del actions remain the same, with a few differences. The classic logon screen has been completely removed, replaced with an updated welcome screen, similar to that from Windows XP. Unlike in Windows XP, the welcome screen can now be configured to require the user to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before logon. While the default behavior is to have icons for each user, the welcome screen can be configured to prompt for a username and password, though it retains the new UI. Additionally, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del when logged in always brings up the Windows Security screen, regardless of the logon method. Users can also lock the computer even if fast user switching is enabled.
