What should I do if Windows 11 locks up after startup and I can't log in?
After starting up, the computer goes directly to the lock screen, and entering the password is ineffective. How can I restore login or bypass the lock?

On the lock screen, hold down the Shift key and click the power icon. Select Restart to enter Advanced Startup Options. Then proceed to Troubleshoot > Startup Settings > Restart to enter Safe Mode for repair.
