The Easy Access button on the Windows 10 lock screen causes the system to freeze when clicked

When I tap the Accessibility button in the bottom-right corner of the lock screen, the pop-up menu freezes completely, and I cannot select any accessibility features. The functionality returns to normal after unlocking the device and accessing the home screen, but this issue persists on the lock screen.

    If you're using a work/school managed PC, group policies might restrict the lock screen's accessibility menu. Contact your IT admin in that case.

  • Look for settings related to lock screen and accessibility, and reset them to default if modified.
