Windows 10: Windows 10 lock screen keeps on popping up

So I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I can't log in now. The lock screen appears, I swipe up, then enter my password. It says "Welcome" but after the screen fades to black the lock screen comes back. Tried rebooting, but it's no use.

Lock Screen keeps changing

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows Spotlight picks the photos from Bing and displays them in the lock screen. I understand that you have set a picture and it is getting changed automatically.

I suggest you to follow the steps to select the Picture that you want to be displayed on the lock screen. Please follow the steps mentioned below to set a Picture to lock screen:

1. Press and hold Windows + I key on the keyboard to open settings.
   
2. Click on Personalization.
   
3. Click on Lock screen.
   
4. Click on the drop down under Background and select
   Picture.
   
5. Click on Browse and select the picture that you want to set.
   

Hope it helps.

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Screen keeps locking up on windows 10

I *HAD* a problem with Windows 10 it looks like the lock screen keeps popping up regardless if I set the timeout to never or not on my power options or in the lock screen settings.

However, I have found a work around for the problem so I thought I would share with the Microsoft community as I know it will bring happiness and peace of mind to many users who wish to try.

I set the timeout for the screen for 10 minutes in power options and in settings and in lock screen settings. I also set a "blank" screen saver for 10 minutes.

I also carried out these steps which were recommended by a Microsoft customer support representative:

1. Type CMD in Search. Right click on it to run as an administrator.
   
2. Type the following 4 commands at the CMD prompt:
   

WSReset.exe.

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

powershell

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

3. Close the CMD window.

4. Check to see if the issue is resolved. If not, restart the PC.
