Hello All,
I am a bit rusty with Windows but my mother, who is running Windows 10
Pro on her computer, suddenly was required to use the Ctrl-Alt-Del
keypress before logging into her computer. She says this happened
after a Windows update but I can't seem to find a way to turn it off.
No group policies are set. Any ideas on how to turn this off?
Her soundcard suddenly quit working also but I am still working on
that.
Any ideas on how to turn this off?
Simple fix - Install your fav. Linux distro :)
Guessing it is, a local setting, does it offer boxes for user name and
password at log in ?
As usual: Google is your friend.

My mother and I have actually been discussing that as of late. The
two programs she uses are Firefox and Thunderbird. When I explained
to her that I could move her FF and TB profiles over to a Linux
install without any loss of productivity, she commented that she "saw
no need to use Windows anymore". Her older but still very reliable HP commercial color laser printer is well-supported via HPLIP and CUPS.
Windows keeps breaking it.
We'll see where this goes. Converting her computer from W10 to Devuan
Linux is going to take some effort.
My dad will have to stay on Windows. Due to physical disability, he
uses Dragon Professionally Speaking for speech-to-text capability and there's no good alternative for that under Linux.
My mother is more "computer savvy" than my dad but my dad has
tramautic brain injury from being hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70
MPH in 2003 so it is hard for him to learn and retain new skills
anymore and even old skills can be very shaky at times.
Guessing it is, a local setting, does it offer boxes for user
name and
password at log in ?
It is a local setting but I can't figure out where it is being toggled
on and off at.

My mom has a new Windows machine. It has a "key" where she can use
her fingerprint to get it but, if you are not set up for that, it also requires a CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up a password screen.

We use Windows on our work PCs. Win10. When we turn them on, we
cannot get in until we press CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the logon
screen.

her fingerprint to get it but, if you are not set up for that, it also requires a CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up a password screen.
The fingerprint option will stop working if Windows has done an
update, and she will have to enter a PIN # in its place.

So is this a permanent change then?
