Hi

RE: Password not accepted after KB4579311 update

Computer HP

ED: Win 10 Home

Ver: 2004 x64

Installed: 19.06.20.

OS Build: 19041.450

Password not accepted after KB4579311 update, having tried the following basics six times:-

Double checked correct PW

Entered PW with Virtual screen keyboard

Check Virtual keyboard was UK setting

Changing PW in safe internet mode

PW reset using USB

All my above attempts failed while using KB4579311 update.

Returned system to previous operating system prior to KB4579311 update computer accepts my PW and works all OK. Have paused win 10 updates for one month as it appears KB4579311 update is causing the issue.

Having read previous MRDBeta work around reply post.

KB4579311 is sitting in my Local Disk, Windows, SoftwareDistribution, Download folder. Is it worth me deleting KB4579311 and try to install the patches or through Windows 10
updates again?

OR

Wait for a confirmed work around or update from MS as I need my computer for work and I'm not a computer expert?

Regards

Sam
