    Problem allowing REQUIRE USERS TO PRESS CTRL+ALT+DELETE


    So when I type Netplwiz it opens a small window, now I want to enable users to press ctrl+alt+delete. But the box is grey which means I cant click it. Any solutions?

  2. Lock screen problem after Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3118754)

    I had a similar issue: after updating Windows 10 to 1511, the lock screen required Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get to the login prompt. Before the update, tapping any key would reveal the login prompt.

    I was able to fix this issue by enabling and then disabling the "secure sign-in" feature of Windows (which requires Ctrl+Alt+Delete to login). Here are the steps I used:

    • Press Win+R to open the Run dialog, then type netplwiz and click
      OK.
    • Click on the Advanced tab.
    • At this point, I saw that the checkbox labeled Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete was unchecked, even though the lock screen did require Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Check the box labeled Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click
      Apply.
    • Uncheck the box labeled Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click Apply.
    • Test by locking the screen using Win+L, then press any key to reveal the login prompt.
    Credit goes to this page on tenforums.com for help on enabling/disabling secure sign-in:

    Hi Diane,

    Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
    Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + R.
    • Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
    • Click the Advanced tab.
    • Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
    • Click Apply.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
      steps 5 and 6.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Problem allowing REQUIRE USERS TO PRESS CTRL+ALT+DELETE

    Hello askboy4,

    You can download a registry key that either enables or disables the desired option from here.

    Download "Enable_Secure_Sign-in.reg"and add it to the registry (double click on the file should do it *Wink).


    Cheers

    Modify the registry settings and check.
    Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, refer to the article:
    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
    a. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    b. Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
    c. Create and/or edit the following string (REG_SZ) value names with the appropriate values as described below.
    > DefaultUserName: account user name
    > DefaultPassword: account password
    > DefaultDomainName: account domain, or machine name (if not using domains)
    > AutoAdminLogon: set this value to 1

    It should set it to default so that the checkbox will be visible.
