Windows 10: Creators Update : Blank login screen after sleep mode?

Hi, I've run into a wide variety of similar issues by searching but none specifically like the one I have, so sorry in advance if this has already been mentioned.

This problem started after the Creators Update. Anytime my system goes into sleep mode (I'm on a laptop so any time I close it), the user login field does not appear on the screen. Upon re-opnening the laptop, I am guaranteed to see the screen with the background with time & date in the lower left. If I click or press any key, the screen changes but my username and password field are missing. I still have access to the bottom right buttons (power, internet etc), so thankfully I can restart without any problems. The login screen appears after a seemingly random number of restarts. If I restart and the login field does not appear, I simply restart again until I see it. The number of restarts required to access the login screen is random, 1-3 times. After I login my computer works normally with no problems.


This is pretty much the only problem I have, my laptop is almost 2 years old and still in very good shape. If anyone has a fix let me know! Thanks in advance *Smile

Windows 10 Fall creators update created a problem with sleep mode. when starting from sleep mode monitor screen displays bright but blank screen. have to switch power off then on to reboot. shutting down or leaving monitor on does not cause any problem.

 

Windows 10 logs me off after a few minutes of idle time, why?

After setting idle for a few minutes my screen goes blank as if going to sleep. The display is set for 1 hour either on battery or AC power. After hitting CR the screens wakes up and makes me login with my windows password. Very aggravating.

 

Hi obstx and welcome to Tenforums.
Not sure about this, but have you got Fast Startup turned off? That's the first thing I would do.

Maybe some others will have more ideas.

 

Hi, I´ve had a similar problem after getting Creators update and I got solution on the internet: In "run" type msconfig and it will open System configuration, then in General section select Selective startup and unselect Load startup items.





This works for me. *Smile
