Windows 10: Windows 10 passoword screen is blank at logon for Microsoft account

I recently built a new computer specs below and installed Windows 10 from a flash drive I created on the old computer that was working fine. Normal logon is fine. However I added my Microsoft account as another user. When I went to switch accounts, I selected the new user account. The white dialogue box came up with the "Loading" animation. After the animation went away, I was left with a blank, white dialogue box. This stays unchanged until the screen turns off.


I have a Sonicwall TZ400 network security appliance with DPI-SSL enabled. I have added the certificates to the Trusted Root Certificates for IE, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. Initially I had a problem with not being able to load websites, but found the problem in my ESET Endpoint Security and solved the issue by disabling and re-enabling either the Web Control or the Web Access Protection, which seemed to re-install its own certificates in all of the browsers.

Window 10 Auto-Logon (Hotmail/MS Account)

Hello everyone!

So, i've updated my PC to Windows 10 and i have a little problem.

Anyone knows how to auto-logon without asking for password using Hotmail/MS Account? I i've already tried the trick using "netplwiz" from Windows 8 wich always worked totally, and in Win10 it just does not work, it keeps asking me for password...

Anyone knows how to bypass this without having to create a local account?

Cheers.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
