    Lock screen suddenly needs alt-ctrl-del to get out of


    Suddenly, without me changing any settings, the lock screen requires (invoked by pressing <WINDOWS>-<L>) me to press <ALT>-<CTRL>-<DEL> before I can enter my password to resume using the computer. Before it would respond to any key, or just prompt me to enter the password. The only thing I knew of that would do this was for the Welcome screen, which is unaffected. Also, I checked the setting for that, and it is unchecked. How do I make it so that I don't need to hit <ALT>-<CTRL>-<DEL> before I can enter my password?

    I'm sharing the house with other people, and they might see me walking away from the computer as an invitation to use it, so I frequently lock it so they don't mess up what I have open and forces them to log in with their own accounts.

    App activity when ctrl-alt-del screen lock is on

    using Win10 education version
    when a user is logged on to a network, can apps that are in use still communicate out to the network when the user locks the screen with ctrl-alt-del to step away from their computer for a few minutes?

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.

    On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

    Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink Lock screen suddenly needs alt-ctrl-del to get out of ;)

    Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.
