    Am I locked out forever? How to log back in?


    I recently purchased Microsoft office and immediately i regret it. My computer logged into my microsoft account but I rather use my local account. So i logged out, intending to log into my other account. It immediately only wants me to use the Microsoft account, so then I tried logging back in. I only have one password and it jeot saying it was wrong. Now it locked me out the computer. I dont understand what happened : Please help me.It says on my other device it recognizes my computer. Why did it say my password was incorrect if it works elsewhere? If this doesnt get fixed, I dont know what

    :)

    Windows Spotlight on the lock screen

    Hi,

    There are multiple causes on why you're encountering this issue. To further troubleshoot the issue, we suggest that you disable and re-enable Spotlight. Simply follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the desktop and open Personalize.
    • Open Lock Screen tab.
    • Under Background, switch from Windows Spotlight to a Picture or the Slideshow.
    • Click OK and close the Window.
    • Now Log off and log in.
    • Navigate to Lock screen and enable Windows Spotlight again.

    Let us know how it works.

    Black Screen after Log on


    So this is not a BSOD ? Have a Windows 10 disc or USB Flash Drive made ? How are you getting to task manager Ctrl.+Alt+Del ? Any cursor on screen ?
