Windows 10: Suddenly not able to sign onto desktop computer running latest version of Windows 10

My desktop computer has stopped presenting a sign-on window where I would usually enter my PIN# to sign on.When I activate computer(usually sleeping) I now have wallpaper screen which, when I click on would previously present sign-on window for my PIN#. Now when I click on wallpaper screen, wallpaper screen becomes opaque with no sign-on window presented!? After approx 30-60 seconds original wallpaper screen reappears! I have tried restarting computer, unplugging, etc., all with no luck. Can anyone help me with this?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Metro 2033 fails to work on windows 10!

I don't recall you mentioning any trouble shooting steps attempted though. At the very least, doing a quick search and checking threads like this very well may have solved it for you. It's listed as compatible on MS' list of games that work with W10 for a reason, because many if not most are able to get it running on W10. At least some level of workaround may be required, but some got it running without doing anything.
