    On each power up/start up on my PC. Windows 11 says "too many login attempts". No one has used the computer, I'm the only user. I may power down, or even lose power. When I start it up, the same message comes on. This is my personal home computer and I am the only user and I have to wait 2 hours to log in. What is happening? How do I stop this?

    Strange login attempt on pc

    I have quite a strange situation.

    A few days ago I came home to my computer being on (when it shouldn't, I did not turn it on)
    Being as paranoid as I am I tried figuring out what turned on my pc and why.

    Not being unfamiliar with pc's I immediately took steps to make sure it would stop.
    One of the steps I took was using event viewer to try and find any clues. What I noticed was my pc seemed to be on more than I want. With strange 'logon events' at very weird times, when I was either away or sleeping in the same room as where the pc is (this for me rules out a family member not respecting my privacy)

    Below are screenshot of some of the extreme cases of what seem to be logon attempts, which made me even more paranoid.

    Steps I took in the meantime:
    - change my windows login code
    - ran malwarebytes scan -> found nothing
    - ran my nod32 antivirus full system scan -> found nothing
    - ran Kaspersky antivirus -> found nothing
    - ran Kaspersky rootkit removal tool -> found nothing
    - checked powercfg /waketimers, there were none
    - manually unplugged internet cable when computer was not in use

    Does anyone know if this could be a virus or a hacker login into my pc when I'm not using it, or could it be something I'm overlooking?
    More importantly I'm looking for ways I can prevent this.

    For the record, I only noticed this when my pc was on last time when I turned it off before, I did not notice anything else like changed files, login attempts on any of my other account, I have 2 factor Auth for most of them.

    In Windows 11 power-saving mode, clicking the Windows Focus prompt on the lock screen will cause a system crash.

    Problem description: As the title suggests.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Enter Windows 11 power-saving mode.
    2. Click the Windows Focus prompt on the lock screen.
    Expected result: The login screen should appear and after logging in, the browser should automatically open to view content.

    Actual result: The system crashes.

    Device information:

    • Windows 11 version: 22H2 (22621.1413)
    • Device: Lenovo Xiaoxin 14 Pro 2021
    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
    Other information:

    • When plugged in, the system automatically turns off power-saving mode and cannot be turned on manually. The function works normally.
    • When unplugged, turn off power-saving mode and the function works normally.
    • When unplugged, turn on power-saving mode and the system crashes.

    Windows 11 says compatible, but in instalation says it isnt?

    The very first step, before running the buggy PC Health Check app, is to see if your CPU is on the approved list for Windows 11. Is it?
