    Windows 10 locked out, no Sign in options


    The story:

    My machine's admin account is my Live account hotmail.

    I added a new local account.

    I logged out and attempted to login under the new local account and received an error that the Sign in service failed.

    The lockscreen does not display any other profiles to login to.

    I am currently locked out and unable to log into my original hotmail account, there is no Sign In options.


    What I've tried:

    Reboot

    Ctrl+alt+Delete many times in succession

    Reboot in to safemode takes me to the same local profile login screen and cant get past it

    Reinstall windows hotmail address shows here, but will not take the password. Confirmed many times on other devices that password is correct

    Tried both connected to internet and not connected

    :)

    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

  3. Windows 10 spotlight lock screen wallpaper is not present in sign in screen. Plz. Let me know the remedy

    Hi,

    It's possible that the option to show a background picture on your sign-in screen is disabled that's why
    Windows Spotlight is not showing there. To provide the best solution to the issue, we'd like to isolate it first by asking a few questions:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer settings prior to this issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you've tried so far?
    • Which Windows 10 version and build is currently installed on your computer? To check, click the
      Start > Settings > System >
      About
      .

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform the steps below to enable the background picture on your sign-in screen:

    • Click Start > Settings.
    • Go to Personalization > Lock Screen.
    • Enable the option under Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen.

    We look forward to your response.

    No sign-in option on the lock screen in Windows 10

    Hi Jorcy,

    Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Try the troubleshooting steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to boot the computer into Safe Mode with networking from lock screen and check if you are able to find the sign-in options.

    Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


    If the issue persists,

    Method 2: I suggest you to download Windows 10 ISO file, create an installation media from other working computer to perform Startup Repair of the computer that you are unable to boot.

    Using ISO file to perform Startup Repair will allow the device to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment and tries to repair the device.

    Step 1:
    I suggest you to try Startup Repairing the Windows and check if it helps.

    Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.

    Refer to the following link: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

    (Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool” in the above article for creating the tool).

    Step 2: After creating the tool perform Startup Repair.

    I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup, Startup Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings and
    more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

    Perform the Startup Repair:

    • When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
      F12.
    • The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
    • Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
      Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
      CD\DVD ROM.
    • After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
    • Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    • Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
    • Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
      Startup Repair.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of booting the operating system for further assistance.

    Thank you.
