  1. User cannot unlock machine - login screen flashes but doesn't provide login options


    I've pasted a link to a video where this is happening. I've updated this users windows and device software, but this still happens to her daily and she has to hard power to get out of it. Does anyone know what causes this? Is there any way to resolve that won't cause me to reset this PC? I'd even take bypassing the need to hit a button to show the username/password option.

    login screens

    goto CONTROL PANEL/ USER ACCOUNTS then you have to remove all the other accounts except for the one you logon with....then restart...it should bypass the login tho it will still show the screen for it...it will continue to load windows...good luck*Rockout :rockout:



    edit:: it asks for a login when there are more then one accounts..or if you set a pw to your login name...

    User cannot unlock machine - login screen flashes but doesn't provide login options

    WIndows 10 Login doesn't have option for alternate login

    Sorry for the delay

    • Are you able to see the User account at the bottom left corner of the Login screen?
    No – nothing is there

    • Have you checked whether the accounts are showing in control panel (User accounts) or not?
    I can’t logon but I have logged onto this machine with both logins before

    • Since when are you not able to see the User accounts in login screen?
    Within the last week – not a heavily used machine

    • Did you make any changes prior to this issue?
    No – not a heavily used machine so it can go a week or two without being logged onto.
