All the sudden enter, space, or mouse click doesn't present login.

Client has an issue where they are now required to press ctrl + alt + del to get past the W10 lock screen. This computer is not on a domain it's a single computer in a workgroup.

I login and sure enough enter, space, mouse click, nothing but ctrl + alt + del will get past the W10 lock screen.

Strangely the lock screen doesn't even have the ctrl + alt + del on the lock screen like it normally would if it were connected to a domain.

Any ideas? Probably some update botched something.

Maybe some local policy?

UGhghghghghghghg turns out the user hasn't rebooted the system in weeks. Reboot fixed it.

Lol this sort of BS is what happens when you don't reboot after a feature update asks for one.

Win10 gets... weird. Ever click on an Quickbooks icon and get the explorer? I have...

And yes, a reboot fixed that one too! lol

A normal monthly update will do it as well.

I have seen some of these where it gets worse, and you can't get into windows at all later.
