Booting to calendar screen and requests password after using feedback
I reported this problem on here already and last time solved it by re-installing Windows from a back-up.
The problem has returned. But this time I have discovered something interesting. I believe it should be possible to troubleshoot the problem.
I have found that the problem comes about after using the online feedback form that comes with Windows 10. The feedback form requires that the user log in before posting. However it does not appear to give the user the option to log out again. For some unknown reason, whenever I have used the feedback app then shut down the computer and rebooted, Windows boots to the calendar screen. When I click on that screen it changes to the dark blue password login screen and asks me for my password. I have never had a password!
I was so thrown by this last time it happened that I did not consider that it was asking me for my online Microsoft password. But this is exactly what it wants. This time I typed in my online Microsoft password and hey presto it continued to boot to Windows. The problem is I am now stuck in an infinite loop of having to click on a calendar screen and enter the password every time I boot up.
It seems that Windows 10 is somehow confusing my online password with an offline password and is expecting the online password to be entered offline in order to log in.
Can anyone suggest a way to log out of Microsoft feedback app permanently?
I tried going online and logging in and out of the Microsoft webpage, but this did not solve the problem.
I do not want a password to log in. I just want Windows to boot to the main screen as it did before.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
