    This morning I turned on my Win 10 PC [Version 21H2 OS Build 119044.1415] as normal. I had logged off and shut down normally last night. The PC has three accounts: 1Mine; 2 a 'safety/clean' admin account; 3 a standard user account for an assistant in case of an need for her to login.When I turned the unit on this morning only the last two accounts were displayed on the login screen. Mine was missing. I logged in via the #2 account as the safe admin. I loaded the control panel, clicking on user accounts and change user accounts. There, displayed on the screen were all THREE accounts. I

    Can't login to new computer w/Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Are you able to login to Microsoft Account on Web?

    • Have you installed any language pack?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to select the appropriate language in login screen at the bottom right corner and check if it helps.

    Steps 2: Use On-screen keyboard in the login screen to login and check if it helps.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    I can't login to my computer

    Hi,

    We just want to follow up on your concern since we noticed that it's been more than 72 hours since you posted it. Are you still unable to login to your computer? This could be happening due to some corrupted system files. Since this only happened after installing
    an update, we suggest rolling back the update by following these steps:

    • In the login screen, click the Power button on the bottom right corner.
    • Hold the Shift key and click Restart.
    • Once you get to the Recovery screen, choose See advanced repair options.
    • Click Troubleshoot.
    • Click Advanced options.
    • Click System Restore and use it to go back to a point in time before the update was installed.
    • You can then try to reinstall the update to see if the error disappears. If the same thing happens again, you may follow the steps in this

      article
      to prevent the update from reinstalling.

    Let us know if you're able to login properly after following these steps.

    ----

    If you think this was useful, you may "mark it as an answer" to help those who are facing the same problem.

    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.
