Windows 10: Upgraded to Windows 20H2 and now I don't have a prompt for password

After allowing windows to upgrade to 20H2 I get the following Screen:



https://preview.redd.it/2yhrk31oqm3...bp&s=a507b44ca522c7d961216d1fda63787ee0bddcb9

After clicking Sign in, I get the small circle of dots where it appears to log in, and then it goes to the lock screen, so if I click on the lock screen I get taken back to this above screen, can click on login and it immediately kicks me back to the lock screen.

So far, I have attempted to log in to safe mode, which presents me with the same screen, and the same results.



I have tried a system restore, and rolled it back to before I upgraded to 20H2, same results.

If I have it start up with a command prompt, it asks me to log in with my linked Microsoft Account, not a local account. No option to choose local administrator.

Trying to activate the local administrator fails.

Trying to allow for remote desktop by editing the registry from the above mentioned command prompt does nothing.

Trying to add a new user from the command prompt fails.

Trying to roll back "new features" etc. has had no effect.

trying to delete the cache's folder has had no effect.

Dropping this PC from my Microsoft account has had no effect.

Are there any other ideas of what I can do besides trying to do a install over the top of windows?

Upgrade to windows 10. Current password doesn t work

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

Please let us know

• Are you logged in with a local account or Microsoft account?
• Have you tried typing the password with On-Screen keyboard?

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: On-Screen Keyboard

You may use the accessibility options to pop open a on-screen keyboard and type the password from there to make sure you are typing the correct password.

If the issue persists,

Step 2:

If you see your email address listed there, it must be a Microsoft account. You will be able to reset the password and log in if your PC is connected to internet.

Refer,

When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account

Hope this information was helpful.

don`t bother with windows 10 upgrade

don`t bother with window 10 upgrade it is complete rubbish it just keeps freezing no matter what you try to do & is the worst piece of software I have ever tried to use, having used computers for over 30 years or more.

microsoft should be ashamed at releasing this piece of rubbish on customers, thousands of customer have had numerous problems trying to upgrade with this rubbish.

I have an HP i5 with 8gb memory 1tb hard drive with 400gb free space & windows 7 64bit OS & have tried to upgrade this piece of rubbish nearly every day for the last month,, I have tried over 20 times to upgrade & have also tried all the useless suggestions
that have been put on this site none of them work because it seems that most are just to fob customers off & blame customers computers instead of microsoft & its so called engineers admitting that the upgrade software is not fit for purpose & is faulty.

after all MANY THOUSANDS of customers trying to upgrade this rubbish upgrade & failing can`t all be wrong.

has anyone with a bit of common sense got any REAL SOLUTIONS to this upgrade problem.

I am now totally fed up with microsoft,, my next computer will be an apple mac.
