Windows 10: Stuck at log in screen. No accounts.

I have Windows 10 & it just asked to update so I allowed it. Now when my computer restarts, everything seems to work fine, until I get to the sign in screen where it says "please wait" and I get an infinite loading screen.




The only thing that works is ctrl+ alt + delete and it gives me this.


Still no accounts to sign into.

I've tried holding shift + restart but it doesn't seem to do anything. Shift + F8 also does nothing during startup.

Log in Screen Locks out! Stuck at Blue Screen Windows 10

I have an issue with a certain log in screen that's now popping up for at least 4 users... its annoying as hell and I cannot figure out how to remove it or even where it came from... After CTRL/ALT/DEL (windows 10) this screen shows up...





This wouldn't be an issue but sometimes after hitting ctrl/alt/del we do not get the screen shown above, but instead get this frozen blue screen and the only way out of it is to restart the PC and hope we get the log in option:



How can we get rid of this log in screen entirely and use the standard WIN10 log in screen shown below:

Log in Screen Locks out! Stuck at Blue Screen Windows 10

...

Well no its not activated....

I don't think anyone is understanding my problem...

When a user leaves their desk, they lock their screen via (ALT+L)

When the use tries to unlock their screen it get stuck:



The only way to get passed this stuck blue screen is to restart the PC.

The screen ONLY gets stuck with users who have this strange looking sign in screen:



The above image is not the standard windows 10 log in screen. We do not know how it got on the users PC, we need to get rid of it because its on this screen that users get stuck.

 

Hi Devon and welcome to Tenforums.

If you have a restore point from before the update, perhaps system restore.
I would then run sfc /scannow to check the integrity of system files before running the update again.

 

So I managed to get to system recovery but I get an error saying the recovery point is corrupt or missing.

 

Okay, let's try running sfc /scannow at boot (option 1); see if we can't get things straightened out that way.

 

I'm having this exact problem, and sfc didn't find anything for me. Got the update, corrupted restore points, spinning circles forever, ctl+alt+dlt does the same thing, the whole shebang.

Though in my case it will actually eventually get to the login screen if you wait about 3 hours.

If you want a temporary fix I found I could log into safe mode, rightclick the start button and go to programs and features, click "view installed updates" then uninstall KB3140743. Next go to C:\Windows\SotwareDistribution and delete everything inside. Now restart and everything should be as it was, minus the most recent update.

I would like to fix the problem after having the update, though. Why does it take hours to log in?

 

Yeah, it not only didn't find anything for me I had an error that said I wasn't allowed to run Sfc /scannow. I managed to get into safe mode & save all my important stuff to an external hard drive then factory reset my computer. I don't have the patience for these windows 10 errors.

 

That's a good temp fix, yes. Not sure what the problem is; some people can't get this update to install at all.

Yeah, sometimes it gets a bit frustrating. *Sad

 

Hi,
My PC automatically downloaded and installed this update... After a few days of putting up with sudden appearance of stuttering in both audio and video playback I figured out that it must be this update since this is the only change that was made on my PC.

I booted to safe mode and uninstalled the update, while restarting my PC is stuck at circling dots before the login screen for over an hour, is this normal? How long should it take to uninstall this update?

Thanks
