Windows 10: On screen keyboard on lock screen, after user switchung Win10

We use two Windows accounts a standard user and an administrator. When logging in to the user account and switching to the administrator account using "fast user switching", the on-screen keyboard no longer opens in the lock screen when typing in the password field. We have tested the problem with different devices MS Surface, DELL, etc.. We were able to reproduce the problem with all different devices. Only after a complete reboot was it possible to get the on-screen keyboard.Note: The devices are in tablet mode, without a hardware keyboard.

Stuck on lock screen because of wrong keyboard layout win10


Hi Hybritect, welcome to the Ten Forums.

You can change the input language used for sign-in from bottom right of the sign-in screen:

 

different lock screen and sign in screen?

Step 2b is labeled as Change the Login Screen Image, but the steps show you how to change the Lock Screen image. Step 2a is irrelevant. It only tells you how to change the desktop background.

What I want to do:
Set Spotlight as the LOCK Screen Image(s) - Done
Set the Win 10 Hero Image as the SIGN IN Screen Image - This is the one that shows after you click on the lock screen and you are able to type your password. If I uncheck "Show Lock Screen Image on Sign In Screen", it shows a solid blue background behind my Password box and user image. This is what I want to change to the Hero Image....

 

Lock Screen keeps changing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
   Picture.
   
5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
