Cursor will not let me type my password to sign-in to Windows

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

this issue may occur if the drivers for the mouse are corrupted.

1) Are you able to use keyboard?

2) Did you check the issue by connecting external mouse to the Laptop?

3) Did you make any recent changes to the computer?

As a workaround, I suggest you to connect the external mouse and check.

If you are able to sign in into the PC then try to update the Mouse drivers and check.

• 
  Press Windows and X
  key together and select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Locate the Mouse icon. using keyboard arrows Right click on the driver icon.
  
• 
  Select Update driver software.
  
• 
  Select "browse my computer for a driver software".
  
• 
  Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”.
  
• 
  Select the driver option according your device model and installed.
  
• 
  If this does not work, follow the steps from ‘a’ to ‘c’ and select “Search automatically for the updated driver”.
  

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.

i have that setting to never,that is what got me stumped

 

We have to distinguish between several different cases.
1. PC goes to sleep then resumes
2. Screen goes off, but PC not asleep (this is easy- no lock screen or anything.
3. Lock screen (as in Windows key + L)
4. Hibernation + resume

Please try clicking the start button, power, then click sleep.
Wait for the PC to sleep.
Wake it- you should see your desktop, no login required.

Now try Windows key + L (lock)
Then click the screen
I think you will find you have to log in.

This is confusing and inconsistent.

 

2. Screen goes off, but PC not asleep (this is easy- no lock screen or anything.

this how i have it set

1. PC goes to sleep then resumes
2. Screen goes off, but PC not asleep (this is easy- no lock screen or anything.
3. Lock screen (as in Windows key + L)
4. Hibernation + resume

Please try clicking the start button, power, then click sleep.
Wait for the PC to sleep.
Wake it- you should see your desktop, no login required.

Now try Windows key + L (lock)
Then click the screen
I think you will find you have to log in.


i tried all the steps you provided
& no logon was required,but when the moniter shut the screen off upon returning ,log in was required

 

I'm having a similar problem. I've made a new power plan, and set it to sleep after 3 minutes. I forgot to disable the option that used to be in power options that required entering a password on wake up. But non of my power plans have that option anymore after W10 updated to 1607 the other day. Any idea where I might find that setting now?

I have tested putting the system into sleep with my new power plan, and have confirmed I have to enter a password waling up. And when I set an older power plan where I'd disabled that option, I still don't have to enter a password on wake up. But again, the option requiring passwords is gone from that and all my option existing power plans

 

an update was what i was thinking also ,some of my personal settings have been changed.

 

Well I toggled the setting Brink pointed out in my post on this issue, and it didn't resolve the problem for me. I also changed it and rebooted like I used to have to do back I was having this problem in WinXP. But that didn't help. dalchina pointed you to that same setting too. Maybe it'll work for you if you change it to "When PC wakes up from sleep", reboot, change it back to "Never" and reboot again before you test it waking without password. I'll give that a try now.

 

Hi, sorry, what I posted wasn't meant to be a fix, merely observations, and pointing out the different cases.

So now I know we're seeing a different result simply after your monitor (my laptop screen in my case) has switched off -as distinct from the PC sleeping or hibernating.

This is what you need to look at I think:

 

bluzeboy said that, "when the screen turns off ,it asks for my password upon resume." He doesn't want that to happen. The screen saver option pointed out in that link would enable entering a password when coming out of the screensaver. If somehow it got set in his menu, disabling it would fix his problem. But like me, I think he never had to enter any password to boot into Windows, or come out of sleep or a screen saver. He didn't make it clear if he had a screensaver set, or if his power plan was set to turn the display off or sleep after a time set. My problem is the latter, and I've found no solution yet.

EDIT: I had UAC disabled which was suggested might be the problem. I set it back to default, rebooted, and I'm not getting the prompt for a password coming out of sleep now.

 

No, you have misconstrued that entirely. I quite understand what bluzeboy wants.

What I have shown is my setting. With the setting like that I get no password when the screen turns on again. Note that the setting has two possibilities- password on and password off. He wants password off, as shown. I'm guessing he has it set the other way.

If your problem relates to sleep, I'd suggest you start a new thread.

 

Yeah... I wasn't clear about what I wrote there. For me the default screensaver setting was not having a password set, as I've never been in there before. So I was guessing the same for bluzeboy. But he hadn't specified whether his screen goes off because he has a screensaver set, or if his power plan is set to turn it off.

Thanks dalchina.. I've resolved my sleep problem that was an app I find I have to shut down.

 

If you have User Account Control (UAC) disabled, try setting it back to default and then reboot. That stopped the prompt for a password when my screen came back on. Here's the process:

How to Enable UAC in Windows 10 again:

• Open the Control Panel (icons view) and select User Accounts.
• Click on the Change User Account Control settings link.
• In the User Account Control settings, move the slider up to the second position from the top (Default).

If the problem is resolved when you reboot, you can probably turn UAC off again.
