Update 5: - I have found the issue! Permissions on this folder were broken/incorrect: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\SystemData Re-adding SYSTEM with full-permissions looks to have fixed the issue! :) Repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag. Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.įor online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at This process will take some time.īeginning verification phase of system scan. The issue has returned! C:\WINDOWS\system32>SFC /Scannowīeginning system scan. Perhaps flipping the equivalent setting in the local Group Policy might work.?įinal update - seemed fixed for most of today, but no. Worth noting, the key was not present on the machine, so I tried manually creating it and rebooting, but there's no change. Update 4: I was hopeful that this registry key might fix the issue: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\DisableLogonBackgroundImage -> DWORD key with a value of “0” - however, it has not. Update 3: The "preview" image shown in Settings -> Personalization -> Lock screen -> Preview: background (Windows Spotlight) is changing! Something between the setting and what makes the image actually appear on the lock screen is broken. I also ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth - it finished and found nothing. Update 2: Negative, the chkdsk did not fix the issue. It says it's "Fixing (C:) Stage 4: 10%." so hopefully this resolves the issue. Update 1: I ran a chkdsk /f /r and rebooted. I've tried everything I've found online, most recently with this SU post, but nothing has worked. Point is, I'm very much more than capable, but this problem is still eluding me. I've been in IT for a decade and more than half of that was Desktop Support and/or Win SysAdmin work. For example, " What small mountain town is this?" Perhaps worth noting that the "Spotlight" info does still get displayed. This did remove the stuck image.but now I just have nothing for the lock screen, which is worse! Now, no matter what I choose (Picture, Slideshow, or Windows Spotlight) no image gets displayed on the lock screen. I got fed up with it, so I researched about where these images are located, then proceed to delete any/all images and data found.

(I have found this and this threads, but they both assume that I am logged in and have access to either the start menu or the run dialog so they are of no help while one is being stuck on an unresponsive lock screen.I had the same image on my Win10 Enterprise work laptop forever (version 1909, Build 18363.657). How could I have rebooted Windows 10 more gracefully in this situation? But on Windows 10, not knowing any better, I had to restart by pressing the power button for several seconds, until the shutdown occurred.īut I know that it is suboptimal for the lifespan of the disk, and the filesystem on it. On Linux, I would have gone for the Alt + PrintScreen + REISUB key sequence. It was stuck on the lock screen with the date display, but no login form. Neither did pressing Enter, Esc, or pressing briefly the power button. The lock screen has appeared, with the big time and date displayed near the bottom left corner.Īt this point, I normally press Ctrl to bring up the login form, but this time it did not trigger any change.

When on the train, I have woken it up from sleep. Today I needed the laptop with me in the city, so first I disconnected all the cables, and then I sent it to sleep. When I am at home, it's connected to and external monitor via HDMI.
