    Unlocked Lock screen showing before screen off

    hi

    this is a bit of strange one - on my new Zenbook i noticed that the lockscreen shows up BEFORE the pc goes to screen off - there is no screen saver configured in settings or aynthjing

    and the weird part is that it's unlocked also, so you can click ENTER or spacebar or a click of the mouse and it shows the desktop so it's like a "fake" lock screen lol... but it's genuine, no fake screens,etc

    Win + L works perfectly etc.

    if i change the screen saver setting instead

    like this then it goes to lock screen and it's actually locked for example after a minute.

    I have another laptop, and it never shown the UNLOCKED lock screen before going in power off - which is set to 10 minutes.

    anyone has an idea? it's just odd

    cheers,
    Gabrio

  3. Computer stuck at lock screen and after Anniversary Update on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Do let us know if you are able to see any error message/ error code with locking the computer.

    Let us try the below steps to unlock and check if it helps.

    • I suggest you to restart the computer, try to unlock and check if the issue persists.
    • Use On-screen keyboard to type in your password and check if it helps.
    Click on the Ease of access on the lock screen at the right-bottom corner, turn on
    On-screen keyboard to type the password.

    Hope it helps. Try the above and update us the status of unlocking the device for further assistance.

    Thank you.

    None of the Apps showing up on Lock Screen!


    Nope that did not help. I guess the steps mentioned there are primarily for the issue of the Lockscreen Apps not being shown as an option in the Settings>Personalization>Lock screen settings page.

    My issue is that even though i select those apps from the settings menu but they dont show any status on the Lockscreen.
