Windows 10 password field on login screen not showing

I have Windows 10, 64bit with all the latest updates.

When I put my computer to sleep and wake up, the password field is not showing. I have to do a restart to be able to log in.

Microsoft isn't fixing this, there are no solutions for this problem, I have tried everything.. I also had this problem in the past, I reinstalled Windows, but I'm not gonna do another reinstall for such minor problem which can probably be fixed without reinstall..

I'm using a local account, and I do not intend to use microsoft account to log in.

I have done sfc and dism also - no corruption. But this problem started after I uninstalled microsoft bloatware and unnecessary crap.

Please don't tell me to create a new account - I've seen these suggestions everywhere, they don't help in any way. I want to use my current account. Please tell me how to fix this. 

These are all the current apps I have

What is missing here ? LockApp is still there..

    Great that your files are safe! I tried to download the Microsoft Win10 re-installer software from their website and had no luck. Visited a local computer repir shop and they gave me a DVD copy to reinstall Win10 and it worked perfectly. I haven’t any experience with a USB pen drive installer.

    İ have reached my documents through safe mode and uploaded all my files to cloud.

    İt is ok.

    Now I am trying to reboot my pc from usb pen drive to install win 10.

    But there is new problem. I have created bootable usb with iso file. 

    When I try to boot from it, bios says that "boot device is not authenticated"

    Suggest you take the PC to a computer repair shop, hopefully they will be able to recover your documents ... should be possible to connect the hard drive externally. Then reinstall Windows.

    İ had tried your suggestion.

    Deactivated all the startup programs from task manager. Then restarted. But İ am not able to log in again.

    İ have switched to safe mod to save all my documents.

    Now I am going to re install windows

    Were you able to login normally whilst in Safe Mode?

    If yes definitely backup your files and docs before doing anything else.

    If login works in safe mode might be worth investigating what startup apps load and test for which is/are preventing login. Might save reinstalling Windows and prevent further issues.
