The Windows 10 login screen is blurry and frozen, and the password field is not displayed
After unlocking, screen turns blurry and freezes—password field takes 20–30 seconds to show up. Happens every time I lock/unlock. Super frustrating.

Hi, the blur itself is normal while Windows switches from the lock screen to sign-in, but a 20-30 second delay is not. Update the graphics driver from the PC manufacturer and test after disconnecting from the network; a slow work-account or credential provider can delay the sign-in UI. Check Event Viewer for Winlogon, User Device Registration, and display-driver errors at the same time. A clean boot will help identify third-party security or sign-in software. Also run DISM and SFC. Since Windows 10 is out of normal support, make sure the PC has ESU coverage or a supported upgrade plan.
