    Lock Screen Glitch: Unable to access Computer


    So recently I have been having a glitch on the lock screen where whenever I try to move onto the login screen, pressing any key, dragging it down, it just flicks back up. I am unable to log in or anything. I have contact Microsoft support but their answer was to basically just reset the computer. I am wondering if A. anyone else has/is having this issue and B. if anyone as a solution. I can't imagine that the only way to fix a lock screen glitch is to reset the pc.

    I have a windows 10 dell Inspiron Desktop

    :)
