Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 Build 16299.19 Double Login Screen Problem

Hi all,

We are investigating reports of customers being asked to enter their password or PIN twice on the lock screen.

I am confirming the steps Leprechaun J wrote in a previous reply as the correct workaround at this time.

Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options.

Down in the Privacy sections, toggle off the setting to “Use my sign-in info to automatically finish settings up my device after an update or restart.”

You will not see that second prompt for a password/pin the next time you start up.

Thank you for your reply Paul. I followed you suggestions and it solved my problem.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 Build 16299.19 Double Login Screen Problem 

Hello Everyone,

After seeing this and reading all other problems consumers alike are experiencing after feature update the current update to Windows 10 on 10/17/17 Fall Creators Update OS Build 16299.19 1709. 

I'm also having issues of the same nature it was directly after the update  system restarted and as always OS requested me to sign so I logged in on pressing enter it requested this a second time which I reluctantly did and now have errors being missing devices dvd usb drives apps third party all gone and cannot get them back.

I have tried downloading from the store no luck there unsucessfully as I am set to download from the default  browser and its greyed out so I cannot change that setting.

Hi Jeffrey,

Have you tried Paul Seymour's suggestion that was marked as the correct answer in this thread?

We have been seeing several reports regarding this and we suggest you try the steps he gave.

We'll be here if you need more help.

Hello Jeffrey,

           Please follow my Suggestion for a temporary Workaround to the second sign in Bug. This should take care of having to do a Double sign in. However!... I did NOT have the other problems you are experiencing with the Fall Creators 1709. (Below is my original post)..

>"Hi Microsoft and All,

Observation: After looking and tinkering with some of the settings, I find (that for me anyway) If I go to "Settings">Accounts>Sign-In Options> then scroll to the bottom of the screen, and turn "**OFF"**this switch 

And then "Reboot" my system, Windows will only ask for my Password Once and boot into Win 10 Fall Creators as normal. 

after this trial I returned the switch to the "On" position and the problem Returned. I will leave it "On" until Microsoft can Confirm the problem or Fix it correctly.  Has anyone else experienced this?... 

I do NOT submit this as a FIX, or Suggest, that anyone try this suggestion. I Posted this here in Hopes that a Microsoft engineer will see it, and hopefully be able to point them into the right direction for a permanent Patch release in the next update. If anyone try's this, you do so, at your own Risk.

I am a voluntary Microsoft Community Member like yourselves, and do Not work for Microsoft. 

Thank-You

Edit: 10/21/17 2:08pm After doing a Google search on this problem, I find that I'm Not the only one that has stumbled onto this. Someone on October 13th 2017 which is posted before me,  had almost this same information posted on "Reddit.com"labeled "Windows 10 Fall Creators Double login". "Just sending Credit to Where It belongs, after ALL it appears to me that they discovered it first" :)

Good Luck and Best Regards...
