  2. Windows 10 Lock screen - "Other user" option missing User name and Password fields

    This is seen on domain joined Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB

    Under some circumstances clicking the "Other user" option at the lock screen with a user logged in will not display the User name and Password fields. Using tab and enter to select the current user then "Other user" will make them display. Has anybody else
    seen this issue?

    Full repo instructions. There may be a quicker way to get into this state, but this is consistent:

    • Have User1 logged in
    • Lock the screen
    • Enter an empty password 6 times for User1
    • Windows will display "Welcome..." message for a few seconds, then "The password is incorrect. Try again."
    • Clicking ok will go to the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to unlock" screen
    • Click "Other user"
    • Username and Password fields are missing
    To get out of this state:

    • Press Tab untill User1 is highlighted
    • Press Enter
    • Press Tab until "Other user" is highlighted
    • Press Enter
    • User name and Password fields are now displayed

    Unknown user account at windows 10 login screen

    I have the same issue but I have 11 users and now on the log in screen I have 11 user names and 11 of the "password" with the "key" next to them. So, that's 22 logins on the lock screen. The "password" logins are actually the users. I am trying to get rid
    of the "password" tabs so only my user names show on the login screen. I checked for the registry folder you mentioned and it is not in the list.

    Any other suggestions?

    How to Switch user at Locked Screen in Windows 10

    SOS, any ideas?

    Running Windows 10 Pro on multiple PCs. All PCs have multiple user accounts defined. Only one PC allows users to logon by picking their name from the list of users. If a users is already logged on, and the desktop is locked, that user must log off entirely
    before the user list shows.

    This is not the case on one of PCs. On the one PC, if a user left the PC with a locked Desktop, any configured user can simply select their name and switch user without the need to log off the previous user. All processes and apps are left intact as well
    for the previous user.

    I did notice that after pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL the PC that is working as needed offers the option to "Switch User" whereas the other PCs do not offer that option.

    I did read suggestions
    HERE
    to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? We are not using picture security on any pf the PCs. Any tips or help will be greatly appreciated.
