New Update of Windows 10 Asks for Password on Sign-in Screen. Never - Microsoft Community

this follow-up previous post on issue, before updated newest windows 10.

i never have used password sign in windows on computer, way vista , windows 7.  just windows asked me password on previous windows 10, older version, , unable sign in.  i did system restore, , signed in , posted previous question how add password if you've never used one, because there no option so.  i updated recent version , build, , when first got sign-in screen, able sign in because of microsoft community membership.  however, there still no option available add password, , response inquiry indicated there might "bug" in update, meant should continue sign in using microsoft community id , password.

last night, shut down computer, , when turned on again, got sign-in screen asking me password.  the option sign in microsoft account did not appear did first 2 times signed in after rebooting updated windows 10.  obviously, using different computer send inquiry, because cannot mine.  the last time sign-in issue happened still using previous older version of windows 10, before updated recent windows 10 update. don't have option of going new system image restore, because had not yet made one, , don't know if make difference anyway, have updated. do now?  if previous system image restore, go old windows 10, , have re-download, re-install, , re-update on again.  what other options have?
