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..

2017-02-05T15:44:15+00:00 This seems to be a typical Microsoft 'solution': work around the problem and see if it is OK again.
If so, keep using the work around (which would be removing and adding the current user profile, I guess).
Nothing was changed in my user profile. Why should I create and remove new user profiles, risking even more problems in the process (considering getting a log-in screen does not seem to be rocket science, either, and yet this apparently starts failing out-of-the-blue)?
I would really rather hear where this problem might be coming from (and I suppose this would be the only way for Microsoft, too), instead of starting trying out work arounds. If this would take more time; so be it. At least we (read: Microsoft!) would learn from this to prevent it from happening to all these users again.

2017-02-04T04:35:15+00:00 I did an in-place upgrade of windows 10 and it made things even worse. Explorer is crashing when I navigate to "open with" submenu...
How can this happen if in-place upgrade "repairs everything"...... ?
Also after in-place upgrade PC settings categories - Personalize and Accounts doesn't work anymore....
