    Ctrl alt delete to type in password in windows 11 is turned on automatically after an update


    I'm using a laptop with a fingerprint sensor. After a Windows 11 update, it forces me to press ctrl + alt + delete to use my fingerprint or type in a password. This gets pretty annoying fast. I've tried changing the it by running netplwiz at the advanced section but the option is greyed out.Any help would be kindly appreciated

    :)

    Ctrl+Alt+Delete password entry from turned-off screen always results in incorrect password

    I'm not quite sure what that means but I discovered if I hit Esc first then wait for the background to turn on, I can then hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete to type in my password.

    This takes longer and is more steps than Windows 7, XP, 2000, 98, and 95 which was just to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete then type the password to log in.

    I don't know why Microsoft added steps and made it take longer.

    ctrl alt del to logon

    Hi Diane,

    Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
    Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + R.
    • Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
    • Click the Advanced tab.
    • Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
    • Click Apply.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
      steps 5 and 6.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Ctrl alt delete to type in password in windows 11 is turned on automatically after an update

    Ctrl+Alt+Delete password entry from turned-off screen always results in incorrect password

    On Windows 7, when the screen timed out, I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete then type the password and it logged me in even if it took a while to show the screen. On Windows 10, I always get incorrect password.

    What is it actually doing when I hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete from a timed-out screen?
