Win 7 Pro, 64 bit, on Dell Laptop. I use Suspend to RAM and Resume all the time, often 5-6 times a day. I rarely if ever shut down.
Recently I noticed that upon resume, I get screen that my account is Locked, and I need to click or hit enter to get a password box to login.
Prior to this, it would always resume to the password box, no need to click.
I have no issue with the password prompt, I like that since it slows someone down who finds my laptop (For the amount of time it takes to boot to a Linux ISO..).
I am curious what might have caused this change from just resuming to a password prompt, to now resuming to a screen saying Account Locked, click, and then password prompt. Any thoughts? I get suspicious when common behavior changes suddenly.
Edit: And then a week later it stopped doing it! Even stranger.
This is now happening to me. I'm used to moving my mouse and then just typing my password. Now I end up at the locked screen, have to hit "enter" or click the username FIRST, and then I can type my password. – ssnobody – 2016-05-02T03:21:14.060
