Login screen

Question

I have a question:

Every now and then ive noticed an annoying bug.

When one goes to login on start and mostly due to pin settings I think

One can usually hit keyboard space enter mouse just about any key to bring up the sign in tab to sign in. And that includes games for the most part.

Lately space/ enter wont work and I have to hit the left mouse key 3 times before windows will wake up/ get going so I can log in.

I say it's to do with the pin setting because im having issues with it I'll use PIN and I'll get some **** about 2 hours to log because of multiple fails of correct pin entered in etc so I have to use password to log in. Space and enter do not have a registry when used to login in normally on password but seem to, on pin. as I get error as above after hitting spacebar,enter and mouse the pin code must be asigning a key to the code for this to happen

Another thing I've noticed is even though screensaver is off every now and then like when there's a cut scene in a playing game it will go to login screen and require pin access to login in every 30sec while the cut scene is playing.

This is not drivers etc its defiantly windows as I have been down that road and plenty of others with both these issues.

These issues are age old and why I'm not excited about 11 but are there any fixes I can try cheers

For example last night I fell asleep at 2am I awoke 7 hours later to find that windows had not shut down gone to sleep( like I set it due to issues) and even restart on updates in active hours set at 330 am didn't kick in to update windows. So I did it when I awoke yet after restart windows excepts pin after hitting enter but not space which is wierd. And still even though lock screen is shut off etc the computer with go into lockdown screen and require pin while theres a cut scene in a game for more than 15 sec.

It must be a freek or a really top virus as malware hours on line regedit checks are all failing to stop it and settings I've checked them all sleep mode is set to never as well. and like the assigned key issue with coding on the pin app the only thing I can't check is game codes to see if there causing it. Coincidence I think not if it happens to more than one game.

Hi

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

When did your problem appear? Whether there have been any updates or other system changes.

In safe mode, can you use enter and spacebar normally?

What repair operations have you performed so far?

I await news.
