Select User Name?

A recent download (not sure which one) from Windows
Update causes my computer to return to a page where I
have to select my user name in order to return to
windows. This occurs when enough time has elapsed to
allow my screen saver to return. It is very annoying. I
have changed the setting to allow a longer period of time
before my screen saver appears, but if I am away from my
computer past that period, I always have to "select my
user name" again. Any ideas on how to eliminate this
problem? Thanks
 
You can one or teo things - right click on your desktop - select properties
then select the screensaver tab - make sure that 'on resume display welcome
screen' is not ticked. Alternatively go to control panel - select
'Performance and Maintenance' then sdelect 'Power Options' - from here you
can select your power savers to never or if you go to the advanced tab -
make sure the 'prompt for password when computer returns from standby' is
not ticked. Good luck
 
Hi Terri,

This is due to the .Net Framework update.

Right click the Desktop/Properties/Screen Saver tab, look at the options
for your Screen saver and also Uncheck the "On resume, password protect"
option.

Also in the Monitor Power settings using the Power button. Look on the
Advanced tab, and the Options section, uncheck the "Prompt for password when
computer resumes from standby" option.

If you were using Auto Logon, this process corrects that:

1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.

2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To
Use This Computer check box and then click OK.

3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
