Windows 10: Can't Access Lock Screen Settings After Upgrading W10 Home to 16184

Hello all,

Could someone see if they can successfully access the W10 Home lock screen settings after upgrading to Insider 16184.1001 (W10 Pro is OK)? When I attempt to do so, the view appears for a few seconds and then disappears without reason. I am also getting a corresponding event ID 1000 that points to a problem with the Immersive Shell Control Panel:

PC settings> Personalization> Lock screen






So, I ran sfc /scannow and it found no errors. Unfortunately, I can't use DISM restore health because it just doesn't work on this release. Your test comparison would be much appreciated.

Thank you,



:)

 

I just can't enable the lock screen in my Windows 10

A group policy has been set that disables the Lock Screen. If running W10 Pro, open Grou Policy Editor and check the settings here:

Administrative Templates =>Control Panel => Personalization

Check out the Lock screen policies there.

If you're running W10 Home Edition, the policy setting need to be removed from the registry.

 

Lock screen doen't work and never go to sleep

since 2 weeks my PC (Asus with Intel i5 3.20GHz, 8GB RAM 64-bits W10 home) doesn't reach the lock screen phase neighter is the monitor shutting down anymore. Settings are unchanged and correct to my opinion.

(lock screen after 10 minutes, Screen down after 30 minutes, never go to sleep (because this has also issues))

How can I solve this?

original title: Lock screen doen't work

 

The same thing happens to me, I have reported this several times. When I get close to the lock screen in settings the screen flashes and I am sent back to the Desktop. I can use the lock screen I had prior to the update but I can't change it. I did not find any errors either.

 

Thank you @Josey Wales! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had done to cause the issue. Your quick response is much appreciated!

regards,

 

UPDATE:

Just to be absolutely certain it is an MS problem, I did a clean install, and the very first thing I did was try to access the lock screen settings, and it just flashed on briefly and then disappeared (same as originally reported).

I then restored from a backup created just before this test and all is well.

 

This has not been fix in build 16188, I have the same exact problem. @WOT

 

Hi @Josey Wales (friend),

Yes, right after I completed the 16188 upgrade, I attempted to access the Lock Screen settings and it actually worked (one time); however, after I did a few things, I came back and it was broken again.

 

Report it again. I did about a paragraph on it. I am back on 15063.250 The First build they called The CU, They are calling this new one CU as well. I may not even go back, not to this build at least.

 

That is really only a minor annoyance for me personally. In fact, all the Insider builds (Home and Pro) have worked well for my purposes. I am just thankful I have not encountered some of the major issues that are being reported throughout the forum.

Cheers mate!

 

It is but I also can't place my PC in sleep. It also took 2 1/2 hours to install.

 

Oh, now that is a different story because I can place my laptop in sleep just fine. With that said, try disabling the lock screen, reboot, and retest:

Enable or Disable Lock Screen in Windows 10

With that registry modification, when I wake from sleep I go directly to the sign-in screen.

 

Thanks I may try that on Friday, I just was in that build and now I am back in CU#1*Biggrin

 

I tried disabling the lock screen and it still will not sleep.

All MS did about the lock screen issue that I reported in build 16184 was move it to a known issue

Navigating to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen may crash Settings app.

 

Sorry it didn't work friend but I am going to take a nap right now because I have no trouble sleeping!
