    Broken lock screen, have to put the computer to sleep again to use

    Computer hangs at lock screen

    Good suggestion, but the symptom occurs after wakeup from a sleep displays the lock screen. Something happens while the computer sleeps to hang the lock screen. Will the computer sleep from safe mode?

    The computer seems to operate normally after a reboot until the next sleep/wake. Right now I plan to close all windows before letting the computer sleep to see if that prevents the issue. If it does I'll leave commonly used applications open one at a time.

    I'll try the safe mode boot and clean boot next if closing applications before sleeping does not help.
