I typically use a PIN to log in after reboot or after locking my machine. Most of the time a click of the mouse or hitting any key on the keyboard will bring up the PIN entry screen. Sometimes there could be a few seconds delay while the camera searches for my face, but I leave the shutter closed 99% of the time, so the PIN screen usually comes right up.
Lately, though, I am unable to bring up the PIN screen unless I:
1) click on some details info on the Windows background image (and thus launch Edge), or
2) press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
I first thought this change came after a Windows Update, and was some bright idea about how to get people to use the Edge browser... But since it has happened intermittently, sometimes a click will do it, but many times no amount of clicking or keyboard taps will work except as above.
What could be causing this? Anything I can do to get consistent behavior?
Thank you!
