I'm not quite sure what update caused the problem but my welcome screen no
longer functions? If I reboot my computer the welcome screen will properly
allow me to enter a password for any of the users (Have 3 users password
protected accounts set up) but if I manually return to the welcome screen (or
the computer automatically returns to welcome screen if inactive) I'm no
longer able to enter a password or do anything other than reboot my PC. I
must force a shut down by holding the off button. I've tried to reset the
welcome screen options, deleted the users and re-established them, etc, all
with no luck. Any suggestions? Now a second home PC on my network has the
exact problem? Some have mentioned problems with net NET updates?

I have this same problem on multiple systems. As a work-around you can use
the classic logon: hit CTRL+ALT+DEL when the welcome screen starts acting up,
and you'll get the classic logon dialog and you'll be able to log on through
that.

Thanks, actually discovered that logitech software called set point was
causing the problem. I uninstalled the software and problem was solved.
