Windows 10: I am unable to sign in on my desktop running Windows 10 because the sign in box won't appear

I am unable to sign in on my desktop running Windows 10 because the sign in box won't appear. The laptop boots normally to the screen with the time and date but when the mouse is clicked the background image blurs but no sign in box appears. * Original title: Help Please

Desktop appears from different signed-in account


I noticed after a Windows 10 repair install that the desktop that appears isn't the desktop from the user account with which I'm signed in. In fact, that user account is no longer listed in user accounts, but its files still appear in C:\[my computer name]\Users. How do I get the correct desktop to appear?

 

unable to type in the sign in box on google chrome account

I am having the same issue. I have no problem typing in Chrome directly, it's only the Chrome sign in box that isn't taking input from the on-screen keyboard. I can copy and paste input in, however the Chrome sign in box vanishes if you click anywhere else on the screen, so I can only get the username or password in that way, not both. It appears they take input, just no flashing cursor or input being taken from the on-screen keyboard. Like mlpope1121, this wasn't an issue in 8.1 before I upgraded. I have even tried resetting the PC to no avail, except losing my ability to downgrade back to 8.1. Does anyone know if there is any other way to sign into Chrome without using the default sign in box? Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:
I went to my local NCIX here in Vancouver, and picked up a USB Micro-B to USB adapter, so I could plug in a standard keyboard/mouse. With a standard mouse and keyboard I had no problems signing in. It appears to be a problem with the on-screen keyboard only.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
