Windows 10: No login prompt at login screen

As can be seen in the picture, sometimes after locking the computer, unlocking is impossible because there is no where to enter the password and the screen is almost empty but the options on the bottom left.
Any way to fix that?

No password prompt at login screen. Can not login.

I don't get a login prompt or a mouse cursor, last night it took 2hrs to finally come up. I have a 4.2 i7 with 16gb of Ram and 24tb of hard drive, only started after last update

Hey, this is happening to me and i cant find anything to fix it!!! Did you find a solution? I t

 

Press Enter, the login screen should appear

 

From the icons in the lower right it looks Shohambs has already done that. These only appear on the login screen AFAIK.




There should also be a list of one or more user accounts at the lower left, it's this that's missing. Without an account to select there won't be anything to sign in to.

 

The answer might be dependent on how the computer has been set up to be locked.
Lock Computer in Windows 10
Even though I haven't seen your problem a couple of ideas come to mind but I admit I'm speculating
Press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and see if the normal Lock option is now Unlock
Select Switch User
Down in the right hand corner, click on restart
Once you get back into the computer, investigate methods to ensure the problem doesn't return

 

A similar problem (missing accounts at login screen) was reported for Windows 7.

The problem seemed to be that the accounts had lost some/all of their group memberships. In Win10 Pro you can check on this using lusrmgr. Win10 Home won't let you use this, but an alternative is to use Win+R (or a command prompt) and type: control userpasswords2 - you can even manage group membership here by double-clicking on a user account name.

 

For testing, I disabled all user accounts and still there is a login prompt with my disabled user shown on the screen. Next I removed the disabled user from all groups, reboot, and I can also see the login prompt. So I think there might be some other settings that cause your problem.

 

Beyond my speculative ideas

Try logging into Safe Mode with networking

If you can get into Safe Mode with networking

Try disabling the Lock Screen

If that is successful, create a system image backup and the recovery "repair disc" of the program you are using

Then maybe we can tackle the source of Lock issue if you wish to do so

 

First of all thank you all for trying to help me!

I've checked my groups and I'm in some.
I can login to the computer after restart, but every locking after it causes the problem.

I've asked around, and it happened to one other as I saw, he thinks the cause of it is being in the insider program and then leaving (as I did too), and his solution was to format the pc, something I wish to avoid

 

"I can login to the computer after restart"
Can you login after shut down and then start back up?

 

Yes I can, but it is kind of annoying doing it each tine

 

"Yes I can, but it is kind of annoying doing it each tine" That's ok, it's part of the troubleshooting process as none of us can see your computer. I want to believe there is a solution to your problem with out formatting your PC. Only time will tell.

Do you leave your computer on all of the time?
If So would you consider shutting down your computer once a day at a convenient time and starting it back up later at a convenient time and leaving on the rest of the time until you shut down again on a daily basis for now so you can at least log in properly during this time period?
--- The shut down & start back up time frame can be only within 5 minutes or before some activity such as when going to work and then returning from work.
--- Some experts may have better troubleshooting methods and that's ok with me as I'm just a simple computer user and I always welcome learning something new.



Also do you have any security/maintenance programs? For example, Norton, McAfee etc.? Maybe CCleaner?

 

I've done more research on your issue and haven't found any standard of instructions of how to deal with it.

But what I suspect is your issue happens to when the computer wakes up and settings in power options should be changed and then backtrack each one (one at a time) to find out when your issue re-occurs. I've looked over my settings and am considering how it would be possible for you to do in order to be helpful. Once a changed setting is returned to its prior state or default state and the issue returns, you can focus on how to address that particular setting. BTW, I don't recall, but are you on the Win10 AU update?

 

I am, i always update to the latest version ( simply because I have hope it will fix it..)
