Yet another fun one:
You reboot your Windows PC, and try to log in.
Only trouble is, there isn’t a login screen!
There’s a background wallpaper image, you can see your mouse cursor and move it around, but there’s no account image, username, or password/PIN box to type in.
It appears your PC is hosed, but fear not!
What’s happening
God only knows. It’s Windows, so that’s probably the explanation.
I’ve seen this issue on several machines, and nothing seems to fix it. BUT… it’s random enough and rare enough that it’s no big deal.
Also seems to come and go – possibly with Windows Updates intended to fix it. SIGH…
The Fix
Just type: Ctrl – Alt – Del
(Hold down each key as you press the next one…)
Ta-DA! Your login screen will appear, and you can fire up Windows as usual.
Yeah, that’s it. Carry on, then!
