    Windows 10 logon screen won't let me enter my PIN unless I press CTRL-ALT-DEL


    When I logon to my account on my Windows 10 PC, something has recently changed, I presume related to an update. In the past I would press any key and then I could enter my PIN to complete logon, but now when I press any key, nothing happens and there's no option to enter the PIN.However, I've noticed that if I press CTRL-ALT-DEL then it prompts me for my PIN and I can logon successfully.I'm running 21H2 OS Build 19044, 1889The issue is completely repeatable by locking my screen. If I lock my screen, there's nothing I can do to get to the screen where I can enter my PIN except by pressing C

    :)

    Depends on whether you have the Welcome Screen, or the Domain Logon screen at boot up.

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.

    On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

    Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink Windows 10 logon screen won't let me enter my PIN unless I press CTRL-ALT-DEL ;)

    Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.
