Microsoft is warning users about a Windows 11 bug that began appearing after updates released in August 2025 (including KB5064081). The issue affects Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2 on devices that have multiple sign-in options enabled, causing the password sign-in icon to disappear from the Lock Screen.
Microsoft clarified that although the icon is missing, the password sign-in button is still functional. Users can still log in by hovering the mouse over the area where the icon should appear and clicking the invisible spot to reveal the password input field. Microsoft confirmed that a fix is in progress but has not provided an estimated release date. For now, users are advised to rely on the invisible button as a temporary workaround.
This bug is one of several issues reported after the August 2025 Windows updates. Previous problems included failures installing apps for non-admin users, performance delays affecting NDI software, and update installation failures through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). The situation highlights the ongoing need for rigorous quality assurance in operating system updates.
