Windows 10: log in

Frequently, I will start my Windows 10 laptop in the morning and receive a message saying roughly: You have used an incorrect password too many times. To log in, type A1B2C3. Then when the login window comes up, I must change sign-in-options to accept keystrokes. Does this mean some outside actor is attempting to hijack my laptop? And if so, how does my turned-off laptop know about the attempt? I go through a full shutdown at night.

New TechPowerUp Forums, Early Access

So far I like it with just a few issues, and they are minor.

• The name of the person who created the thread and the date is really lite and hard to read for me.
• When you are logged in the thread titles are in bold and look great, but when you are logged out they are normal, and very hard to read. We have a lot of users that come, and do not login. So, I suggest changing it to where everything is bold if you are not logged in.
