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..

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I reset the computer and lost all files. After hours of "Leave your device on we're going as fast as we can" I finally got a desk top. I changed the computer name to what it used to be and was forced to reboot but when it got to the login screen there was NO LOGIN BOX. The disk will light up for awhile then back to the screen with the Time and date.
What are you doing Microsoft? If you want someone to stop using your product just ask, locking them out of their computer is deceitful at best.
Here it is October 2017 and the same issue: No login prompt (after last night's updates)
After trying EVERY example (restore, backout last update, command line net, low res startup) and finding nothing that works I'm stuck with wiping out all my data in order to get the computer to work.
Microsoft, I will order a tablet to keep my day to day important stuff on, I will not be purchasing anymore boat anchors that require your products to operate.
To those that work for Microsoft and the managers that allow this to happen, I'm sorry, perhaps when you get your next job you can reflect on what you could have done better. Meanwhile I'm good with Android on Intel.
I am sorry to see so many people having the same problem as myself. My next option to fix the issue is to re-install the Windows 10 and turn OFF Windows updates permanently.
I have very important software installed and have to do a special arrangements to re-install it after Windows work.
Dear Microsoft, I am very disappointed. Shame on you. Better quality means happy customers.

I had this problem as well. It started happening after I uninstalled Norton. I solved it after I was able to restore the file from the recycling bin.
After having this problem for several months, I have been working on solving it for several days now. I think I have finally found a working solution by Pawan Dhondiyal in another forum... essentially, all I had to do was figure out how to restart the system in safe mode (I chose option 5 - safe mode with networking). Once I was there, I put the laptop into sleep mode and then restarted. Problem seems to have gone at last. Fingers crossed that it stays that way for a while. The url for the solution is https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-performance/password-box-missing-on-windows-10-login-screen/584819c5-ed48-4e28-b9bc-3d4ab51e19ed
BAD NEWS:
After a few more hours, and reinstalling my antivirus software (which had been uninstalled by a technician to test if it was the problem), the problem has returned. I tried the same technique without success. I tried disabling the antivirus software and removing it from startup, then used the method described above and still no success... It is broken again. The last technician said my system is corrupted and needs a clean install. I had to decline and I will live with the inconvenience of shutting down my computer instead of using the Sleep mode for now.
