Win11 does not display the password input box after locking the screen. Please help.
After the computer locks the screen, the password input interface cannot pop up normally, making it impossible to unlock and enter the system. The only option is to force a restart.

Use keyboard shortcuts to refresh the screen. Usually, the interface is just frozen or glitched. Try these key combinations:
Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete simultaneously. This powerful command often breaks through graphical glitches and should bring up a separate screen with options. From there, you can try selecting Lock again or Sign out to get a fresh login prompt.
Press the Esc key multiple times.
Press Tab or the Spacebar to see if you can "wake up" the hidden field (you might be able to type your password even if you can't see the box—press Enter after typing it blind).
