Windows 10 logon

[sjb1157]

Hello...I just had an update to my Windows 10 OS and ever since then, in order to get my logon window up on my computer I have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del...is this normal and will this hurt my computer? Thanks...

is this normal

No

will this hurt my computer

No

Do you have any idea which "update" you recently applied that resulted in your current issue?

Have you went back into Windows Update manually to check to see if there may be other Windows Updates still pending?

As for the Ctrl+Alt+Del part, it used to be normal back in the Windows NT4 and Windows 2000 days, mostly when the computer was part of a companies' Network. I've seen written back aways where it could be re-instituted when needed.

You might also want to check under the hood a bit
Windows logo key + X and select "Run" and in the run dialog box type
control userpasswords2 (same thing as netplwiz)
hit enter or click OK
Select the advanced tab and confirm that the bottom check mark is unchecked

Also a registry setting at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
