On my Windows 10 machine, it boots to the typical lock screen. It shows the power options. On any button combination it changes to a completely empty screen.
How do I get back to the login prompt?
Note there may be an active Remote Desktop session.

1Are you able to boot to safe mode with command prompt and access the built-in admin account? If not are you able to boot into system recovery and get access to the OS via your normal account? – Mike Garuccio – 2016-11-23T21:24:46.453
@MikeGaruccio No. I searched for this on Windows 10, but most of what I found said this cannot be done now because it boots quickly. None of the options for restarting into safe mode worked. – David W – 2016-11-29T15:36:15.840

Awesome, post back if you have any further issues. – Mike Garuccio – 2016-11-29T16:02:58.307
