Windows 10: Login Prompt Missing After Windows 10 update

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. The upgrade went fine and I used the PC for about 4 hours without incident.


Before shutting down, I did a check for updates. After the restart (required by the updates), I had no way to enter my password from the lock screen.


MS Support has told me that my PC will not support Windows 10. However:

1.) My PC exceeds all the various requirements listed on the MS website.

2.) Windows 10 did load and was functioning without incident for several hours.

3.) Many people have posted about the same issue - is it possible that all of these PC's are inadequate?


I've searched the Community for several hours, without success, trying to find a resolution to my issue. I am planning to upgrade my CPU, MOBO, and memory, but lack the funds at this time.


I need to be on Windows 10 and stable before the end of support for Windows 7, preferably on my current PC configuration. Can anyone provide assistance to help me:

1.) Definitely determine if my PC needs to be upgraded

2.) Resolve this issue on my current PC?

windows login prompt missing

a few days ago my computer woke up from sleep mode with the "your computer has run into a problem and needs to restart" screen this happens often, the computer normally restarts and seemed to fix itself so usually I just ignored it, the next time I tried to
get on my computer the windows login prompt was missing.

( i will mention that I have changed some setting to avoid the unexpected restart because I have lost a lot of important work. This is the video I followed: )

anyways since this has happened I have browsed through and done a lot to the suggested fixes from formes but none have worked:

• turning the computer off and on
• system restore
• system image recovery
• startup repair
• used the command prompt and putting in the check disk code ( it went through the whole thing but in the end said there was an error and could not enter the data - something along those lines)
• reinstalling windows 10 with bootable USB
• going into safe mode ( computer just goes back to the missing login prompt screen but just magnified)

• resetting the computer both with my files saved and without. (starts process but reaches a point were it says something went wrong and puts everything back)

I don't know if this is related or not but since this has started my phone has been notifying me that there is a security warning with the email I have associated with my Microsoft account from "securelogin.arubanetworks.com" which I do not know where
this is from.

 

Windows 10 - Login Prompt Missing

Hello!

We have Lenovo X1 Yoga with Windows 10 running.

When we wake up the machine from sleep state or boot it up (from off state), the background screen appears but it is missing the login prompt. Users cannot login and force to reboot several times until the login prompt appears.

Is this a known issue? Are there any permanent solution?

Thank you,

Chris

 

No password prompt at login screen. Can not login.
