Whenever I turn o my computer the moment I try to eneter my password, nothing shows up, all I see is my lockscreen background until the 30 sec timer ticks down and im back to the lock screen. The only way that I have been able to find a temporary fix is to click "restart" and restart my computer. What's funny though is that I've found that that is the only fix. If I clic "shut down" it still won't work, only "restart". All of the answes to this problem have said to click "change user" and click CTRL + ALT + DEL however my screen is blank when I try to login, lke their is no "change user" button. I can't even click CTRL + ALT + DEL. I'm not sure what version of Windows I have to determine if that is the problem but something is clearly wrong with this installation. I really don't want to do a reinstallation incase I accidently break soemthing.
Also, another thing I've noticed is that my PIN disappeared. When I complete my "temporary" fix, it doesn't make me neter my PIN but my actual password and whenever I try to make another one, it loads but then nothing shows up. No error messages show up either so I'm not sure why the PIN is screwed up too.
I've tried to look up solutions but all of these either don't work, or just say to wait for an update, however the posts were from 2015 and on an older installation, at least I'm assuming it was seeing that I don't actually know what my windows 10 version is, and no updates are available so again I'm assuming I have the latest version. Any help in this matter would help, thanks. I really don't want to have to restart my computer every time I want to login.
