    Log-in screen general buggyness


    When I restart my computer the first thing that shows up when I reach the log-in screen is "your username or password is incorrect" or something along those lines...

    This exact bug happened to me too. I think it showed up either after I joined my local HomeGroup, or after I renamed the computer. Here's what fixed it for me:
    In the search field type netplwiz

    Click Apply (you may need to enter the account password)
    Restart
