Windows 10: Non Domain Local Windows 10 User accounts getting locked?

Hello,


Ive had two users this week get their Windows 10 local user accounts locked. I dont know why this is happening. I do have an admin account on the devices in question and I can log in on those profiles. I then go to reset the user passwords and it tells me the new passwords dont meet complexity. One machine was Windows 10 pro the other was not pro.


We are not on a domain, they are not using Microsoft Live accounts, and I have no other password enforcement systems running on those two systems. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Ive had the user show me the password they were using, I then had the user create a new password which they shared with me 11 chars long upper, numeric, special, and lowercase. The password doesnt meet complexity. Again I checked all your typical stuff, I had to run net user "user" active:yes to reactivate the account and make my own password for them to be able to log in.


Is this a Microsoft issue that I need to be aware of? I am super confused on whats going on.

Domain Account Locked Daily


Hello,
I have similar problem. My domain account locks from time to time. I just upgraded from W8.1 to W10.
I tried many steps to solve this but none is working.
I found out some interesting things. Using a tool "Account Lockout Status" I found that Last Bad Pwd value is changed when I enter credentials after computer automatic or manaul screen lock out.
I can work normally if I do not get a message about "Windows needs your current credentials":



If I get this message and do nothing - account very quickly locks out.
If I do quick screen lock and unlock it will go ok for some time.
Very strange. I replicate the problem of Last Bad Pwd value using another PC with W10. Some other users in domain are ok some same as mine.
Something wrong with specific users and Windows 10 combination..
