  1. Can’t Log Into Account At The Lock Screen


    This has been a persistent problem that has been bugging me lately. I had tried logging into one of my Windows accounts on my desktop, but it says I cannot log in. I have tried to reboot the desktop, change my account’s password, and looked online for help - practically everything under the sun - and I STILL couldn’t log in. I took a break for a few months, and once I decided to log back in, it still says that I could not log in. However, I am able to log into this account when I am at the Microsoft site under any number of different DESKTOP accounts, though. Is there some sort of problem here, and if so, are there any ways that this coul possibly be fixed with?

    :)

    Lock Screen Randomly Changes

    Hi John,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to go to the lock screen settings and disable the automatic lock screen change and check if the issue persist.

    To test the issue I suggest you to create a new user account and restart the computer and check whether you can find other new user account.

    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    • Select add someone else on this PC.
    • Enter a user name and hit next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
