Windows 10: Lock Screen: Unable to type PIN code after computer wakes up from sleep.

This is an interesting bug. About 50% of the time when I wake my computer up from sleep it will not allow me to type in any numbers from the 10-key or from 1-0 on the keyboard. My two workarounds is to click on the Ease of Access button in the bottom right, then enable/disable on-screen keyboard. Then it will allow me to type. My other workaround is to just simply reboot.

Build:

CPU: AMD FX8350 Black Edition
RAM: g.skill 32GB

Motherboard: Gygabyte I forget the chipset

GPU: EVGA nVidia GTX 1070 Ti SSC 8GB
Monitor: MSI Optix 4k Curved Monitor
Peripherals: Corsair Keyboard and Mouse, Logitech Pro Stream Camera/Mic, Logitech Joystick, Logitech Speakers
Software/drivers: Windows 10 Pro, Corsair iCUE, AVG A/V, MS 365, Chrome.
Overlays: GeForce Experience, Blizzard, Steam, Epic Games, Xbox for PC, Discord, and Origin.


Thank you very much for you help. I suspect it might be something 3rd party affecting my lock screen.

Best Regards.

On screen PIN Pad on lock screen

I have always used a pin to log in to my PC. As of recently, the on-screen PIN pad has started popping up automatically on the lock screen when I wake my pc from sleep. Is there a way to disable the on-screen PIN pad on the lock screen?
