Better Windows 10 Lock Screen Alternative?

[dj_ripcord]

Has anyone encountered, or is working on a better lock screen alternative for windows 10? It's not the photos, or the notification bar or anything like that. It's the FREAKING EXTRA BUTTON PRESS IT TAKES TO GET TO THE LOGIN DIALOG! Ugh. If you're a 10 user, then you know what I'm talking about here. When you open your computer from sleep, and you have to press a extra random key before you can type in your REAL password. I am constantly inadvertently beginning to type my password, only to realize that it's one character short because I have to push another button to "wake it up" before I can actually begin typing. Extremely annoying. I even think I remember Linus saying something about this in an episode, not sure which one though.

 

So. Any ideas?

easy, remove the first word of from your password

then you can type your password and login without any issue

Lol, what a simple and elegant solution! I may use this, but i'm sure it will confuse the hell out of me when I forget what I did, and end up on the login screen after accidentally waking it up. Which would cause me to probably input my regular password without the missing character until I realize my mistake.

 

Still a great solution none the less.

I just hit Enter before typing my password. I got used to it since Windows 8 (yea it did this as well).

I've noticed that not only do you need to hit a random key, but sometimes no key will do it and I have to click, and then can start typing.  Why they changed this I don't know.  You should be able to just start typing and the first letter should move the lock screen away and go into the password field!

I hit my numlock button since fast boot doesn't enable it by default.
