  1. after windows 10 updates Password box locks up cannot enter


    After I complete any updates for Windows 10. I attempt to enter password, only to have it get locked out by PW screen turning black. Also another common problem occurs which is the mouse does what it wants. I am running AVG antivirus. All is clear no issues. If I am able to get mouse to windows key to restart. Gives me only outcome desired, but major issue to get that done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    :)

    Windows 10 lock screen password

    We appreciate the details that you've provided. We suggest that you remove the lock screen password by following the steps below:

    • On the Windows search bar, type in Netplwiz and select the top most result.This window gives you access to Windows user accounts and many password controls.
    • Right at the top is a checkmark next to the option labeled Users must enter a username and password to use this computer.
      Uncheck that.
    • Click Apply and it will prompt you for your current password. Enter it twice. The next time you reboot, or your PC wakes up from a nap, you’ll no longer need to type in your password.

    Let us know the results.
