    Stuck on lock screen Windows 11


    What's going on with Windows 11 lately, let's say the past 3-4 months at least as far as I can remember?I keep getting stuck on the lock screen.Problem descriptionVery regularily I get stuck on the lock screen. I'm leaving my laptop unattended, either opened or closed does not matter. That's what people do with laptops. I didn't want to shut down entirely because I was working on a project. I wanted to continue later.When I got back, I could not sign into Windows 11 anymore. Both the finger print scanner and the pin were completely irresponsive. Except for button animations, they worked fi

    Lock screen image stuck

    hello,

    I have one PC stuck with the mountains lock screen image and another one with a nicer but still stuck image with the "thanks for sending us feedback" caption, usually there's do you like yes or not.

    Is it a problem on MS end this time? I tried the reset steps so many times, usually after 10-15 minutes the lock screen picks up when there's the mountain one for any reason, but not this time.

    thanks

    Windows Spotlight lock screen is stuck with dark screen since tried this Microsoft solution:

    Hi,

    My lock screen was stuck for months with the same picture,

    I just searched for a solution and found here - Windows Spotlight lock screen is stuck on the same picture!

    After I did all steps as suggested, I now have a black screen when Windows is loaded (before entering the password).

    Please help me to solve this problem, black-dark screen is not nice at all.

    Thanks

    Elad

    Stuck on lock screen Windows 11

    Computer stuck at lock screen and after Anniversary Update on Windows 10

    The first suggestion is not helpful since the problem is that we have many open programs stuck behind the lock screen.

    I have run into this problem and tried the On-screen keyboard but it does not help.

    An additional data point is that it does not matter what password is entered.

    Enter correct password -> spinner shows up, after about 30 seconds the spinner goes away and the screen remains locked.

    Enter blank password (simply hit Enter) -> same behaviour as above.

    The behaviour is the same whether using physical or On-screen keyboards.
