  1. Windows 10 can't get past lock screen


    Hi. Earlier today my browser shut down for some reason. I did a restart of the computer, then for the first time the small window for lock screen password won't come up. The mouse works. Just the background Microsoft photo/wildlife wallpaper shows. I've tried lots of the fixes I found on the internet, but none have worked. I thought maybe the command prompt advice would work but my keyboard doesn't seem to work in the command prompt window I'm writing this from my Windows 11 desktop.Anyone know how to get back into my computer?Thanks.

    :)

    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
