Windows 11 doesn't show login username/password boxes after waking from sleep

After being inactive, the computer "wakes up" and shows the typical picture background, as well as the weather. The problem is there is no login username/password box. Nothing can be clicked. The only options we've found to log in is to remote into it via RDP, end the session without logging out, and then move back to the machine itself (then the proper login boxes display), OR force a shut down by pushing and holding the power button (ouch).

We've tried the usual: ctrl-alt-del; up arrow a couple times; click and dragging mouse upwards, etc. thinking it could be an issue where it thinks it's a touch screen situation.

Why is this happening? It's on a Domain, it's the only Windows 11 machine and it's the only one exhibiting this issue.

 

No password login box

Hi Helen,

There could be changes made with the settings on your computer that has disabled the option to have users to log in with a username and password. This should be enabled back to get again the login window.

If you're able to login to your system without using the password, please follow these steps to enable the login window during startup:

• Right-click the Windows key and select Run.
• In the Run field, type in control userpasswords2 and hit
  Enter.
• In the User Accounts dialog box, check the box for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
• Click Apply, then OK.
• Restart your computer and see if you're prompted with the login window.

In case you can't login to your system, please boot your computer in Safe Mode. Check out the link,

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10 and follow the steps in From the sign-in screen. Once you're in Safe Mode, follow the steps above to enable the password prompt. Once done, restart your computer to go back to normal mode.

Update us on how it goes so we can assist you further.
