- speedgoose 6y agoNever happened to me on Windows, so it shouldn't be that hard.
- joshuaissac 6y agoIt happens to me on Windows 10 if I close the laptop lid to lock the desktop and send it to sleep. When I open it again, the desktop is accessible for a few seconds (sometimes long enough to launch programs) before the lock screen activates and I have to input my password. The workaround I use is to manually lock with Win+L before closing the lid.
- passivate 6y agoWould you mind posting a video? I have never seen this occurring in any version of Windows.
- joshuaissac 6y agoI tried a few times but it cannot be reliably reproduced. It successfully locked every time I tried today.
- mmis1000 6y agoWindows have multiple desktop sessions(the normal user session, and the safe desktop). Even if you ever able to crash the one that host lock screen without bsod. You still won't be able to go back to the normal desktop.
- sbarre 6y agoYep, also happens to me on my macOS 10.15 iMac.. It will go to sleep, then when I wake it up, I get a flash of my desktop before the lock screen shows.. Too fast to write anything down by hand, but you could certainly point a 60fps camera at it and get something I'm sure.
- SamBam 6y agoYup. On my 10.15.7 this happens frequently. Often if I open up the laptop I can see the current contents of the screen for a good 5-8 seconds before the lock screen shows. I don't think I could interact with the screen in any way, but I could certainly take a picture of it, if I had any private information on the screen.
