    This was happening before and now it's happening again and I'm getting very annoyed.
    When booting up after the system's been off for a while Windows 190 boots into a temporary account and tells me it can't log in.
    I sign out and back in and everything's ok.

    Why does it show my login screen with my name and my avatar but can't log in???

    Not sure if it is related but my system fails to start (when it's been off for a while) when I have 'Turn on fast startup' checked. It goes to the blue screen wiht the Windows logo and stops there. No activity icon or nothing.

    Doesn't Microsoft have a fix for this yet. I searched the web and it seems I'm not the only one having this issue.
    After praising Windows 10 for so long and now I've come to the conclusion that this product sucks.

    Any help will be appreciated,
    James

    :)

  3. Unable to Log in & Activate Win 10. Log in not offered.

    Running Win 7.1 Home Prem and unable to Log in to free Win 10. Laptop has "finger scan" which did not work during Upgrade to Win 10 and log-in by PW failed (bad key strokes or too little time to revert to PW entry) and log-in not offered again. Boot up
    stops before log-in offered. Agent gave me address to download ISO file for Win 10 conversion. Agent said new Product Key not necessary. Made ISO bootable USB. Proceeds to request for Product Key. I entered Win 7.1 key, but Free Win 10 looking for different
    Product Code.

    Can't go forward & CANNOT GET BACK TO AGENT. Access to my Computer has been denied for 6 days at time of posting.

    How do I get Product Key for FREE version OR how do I SAFELY GO BACK TO WIN 7.1 HOME PREM without damaging existing file & Program Structure.?????

    Hi George,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I would like to inform you that if you've upgraded to Windows 10 from a genuine qualifying version of Windows 7 SP1, then it should not ask for Product key and it gets activated automatically.

    However, if still you encounter the problem, then I would suggest you to refer to the following link and check if that helps:

    How to troubleshoot Product Activation in Windows 10

    Let us know if you need further assistance and well be glad to help.

    I printed it out, but why we need to go through this because of a problem with Windows 10???
    Do they think we owe them something for the free version of Windows 10????

    Does anyone have a Microsoft support phone number???

    I'd really like to have a few words with these people.

    Have you run a full check on your drive with chkdsk c: / r and created a new admin user before you get locked out?

    I tried running chkdsk c:/r on a reboot and it remained at 10% for a half hour.
    I then restsarted and skipped the chkdsk.
    Is it normal for chkdsk to take a long time?

    The /r is very intensive and may take a long time but it's essential you let it run to find and correct problems it normally only takes a long time if it's finding errors

    chkdsk didn't help.
    It took over an hour and a half.
    I spend more time troubleshooting this piece of garbage.
    This is getting sickening!

    Did you create a new admin account and try that before your locked out. These problemshow the value of using free disk imaging to image your system regulary as it can then be recovered as it was in 20 mins

    I do have imaging software. I create an image every Saturday. About a week ago or less I restored an image which was a clean install of Windows 10 (1709) because the same issue was occurring.
    It was fine up 'til today.
    So, today, after trying check disk, I restored the image I created Saturday.
    After restoring it I shut down, waited few minutes, and restarted.
    No problem.
    I'll see what it's like in the morning.
