    Windows 10 Lock Screen Issue – Password Field Not Appearing


    Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with a Windows 10 PC in our corporate domain. Every time the PC is locked, clicking on the screen to unlock it causes it to remain stuck in a "pending" state, and the password input field does not appear. The only workarounds that sometimes help are: Putting the PC into sleep mode and waking it up again. Enabling airplane mode but this does not always work. So far, we have tried disabling recently installed startup apps, but this has not improved the situation. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any suggestions on what could be causing it or

    :)

    Lock screen password field gets locked

    After coming of screen saver or sleep, my lock screen password field gets locked and I can't enter a password. For 20 sec to 1 min, sometimes, I'm locked out of being able to enter a password; but eventually input field is enabled and I can enter a password.

    This seems to have started pretty immediately after upgrading Windows 10.

    Does anybody know why this happens or how I can resolve it?

  3. Windows 10 Lock screen - "Other user" option missing User name and Password fields

    This is seen on domain joined Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB

    Under some circumstances clicking the "Other user" option at the lock screen with a user logged in will not display the User name and Password fields. Using tab and enter to select the current user then "Other user" will make them display. Has anybody else
    seen this issue?

    Full repo instructions. There may be a quicker way to get into this state, but this is consistent:

    • Have User1 logged in
    • Lock the screen
    • Enter an empty password 6 times for User1
    • Windows will display "Welcome..." message for a few seconds, then "The password is incorrect. Try again."
    • Clicking ok will go to the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to unlock" screen
    • Click "Other user"
    • Username and Password fields are missing
    To get out of this state:

    • Press Tab untill User1 is highlighted
    • Press Enter
    • Press Tab until "Other user" is highlighted
    • Press Enter
    • User name and Password fields are now displayed
