    Completely locked out of laptop: Stuck in the Lock Screen and cannot configure a PIN....

    Lock screen image stuck

    hello,

    I have one PC stuck with the mountains lock screen image and another one with a nicer but still stuck image with the "thanks for sending us feedback" caption, usually there's do you like yes or not.

    Is it a problem on MS end this time? I tried the reset steps so many times, usually after 10-15 minutes the lock screen picks up when there's the mountain one for any reason, but not this time.

    thanks

    Nothing working on lock screen of Windows 10

    it's stuck on the Lock screen which has the clock in lower L corner and 'Enter' will not get you to Log-in screen where you enter password or PIN... Ya this is right! But suggestions you give is not working!
