    No login prompt after locking screen


    Hello,
    I locked my company computer last Friday because it had to make some calculations. When I came back on Tuesday and wanted to unlock it, there was only a black screen with my mouse pointer. After pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL the background of the login screen appeared, but not more. No login possibility. I tried to make a remote desktop to it, but became no reaction (unable to connect).
    Are there some other keys or shortcuts than CTRL-ALT-DEL to get a reaction or to get to another prompt?
    Lars
    EDIT: I didn't mention that I cannot reboot the computer, because I need the data that was calculated.

    :)

    Windows 10 login problem

    Since a recent windows update during the past week (Dec12 -19, 2016), I have the same problem as David_O77 Aug 26, 2016, with maybe one slight difference (the password prompt eventually appears after waiting 5 minutes).

    My pc is an HP envy 17 notebook pc, running Windows 10 Home, version 1607, build 14393.576, with 16 GB ram, 64-bit OS.

    All startup apps are disabled.

    The problem is this:

    When I turn my computer on I can see the HP logo with dots circling.

    When lock screen shows up with background pic and time and date, I press enter key to go to login screen.

    The login screen is set up with a different background color, and it opens with
    no password prompt. After about 30 secs it returns to the lock screen.

    After waiting about 5 minutes, I can press the enter key, and the login screen opens
    with a password prompt. I have tried waiting less that 5 minutes at the lock screen to return to the login screen, but there is no password prompt until 5 minutes have passed.

    After entering the password, the computer behaves normally, as it did a couple weeks ago.

    Why does the password prompt take 5 minutes to show up? How do I fix the problem?
