Windows 10: my Dell desktop locks me out for 2 hours each time the home electricity shuts down

Hello,I live in an area where the electricity shuts down several times a week for a few seconds. As a consequence, when I restart the computer and put the PIN, my desktop gives me the message that "sign-in option is disabled for failed sign-in attempts or repeated shuts down...". I have not made several sign-in attempts and the electricity only goes down once per day...Then I have to wait two hours, and when I put the PIN I can login-in again.This is very annoying and stops me from working for two hours each time it happens. Is there a way that I can disable this option and allow me to re-ente

Windows is locked out for 2 hours even if Lockout Policy is changed

My laptop got locked out for 2 hours after a sudden shutdown due to shortage of battery power. I read online and changed the Lockout Policy. Still the next time my laptop ran out of battery and shut down suddenly, i still got locked out for 2 hours. Is there anyway to change or remove the lockout time for sudden shutdowns?

 

Update while shutting down taking eight hours

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Did you see any notification about Windows preparing to Install updates while shutting down the system?

2. Have you check if you can re boot the computer?

I would recommend that you wait for 24hrs and check if your system shuts down on its own. If not then I would suggest that you perform Power Drain and check if you can access the desktop. To do so follow the steps below

• Unplug the charger and remove the battery of your laptop, if using a desktop remove the power cord.
• Press and hold the Power button for 30sec
• Plug the charger/power cord and restart system

Hope this helps.

 

lock screen time is off about a hour

This does not correct the issue. I checked my settings and they are correct. The time in the lower right of the desktop is correct. But the time on the lock screen is one hour off.
