After KB5101650 I find that I have to hit Enter twice or more to switch from the lock screen to the login screen, but a mouse click works fine.
Can't imagine why that would be the case.
I could just regedit the lock screen out, but that's too easy.
It shouldn't be a power management/wake issue, not that the keyboard is configurable anyway.
Any ideas?
Probably the lock screen is not in focus (front app). The first ENTER brings it in focus and the second reveals the login screen. With the mouse you do both in one click. I don't know why that happens after the upgrade. Wasn't always like that? Perhaps some process is busy updating the background picture or other data and has stolen focus from the lock screen. Or Windows is busy doing some maintenance in the background like scanning for viruses, downloading updates etc and has stolen focus from the lock screen.

I've found that if I hit Enter in a limited time frame after the lock screen shows, it does go to the login screen, so yes, maybe some background process stealing focus. Alt-tab didn't do anything.
After some digging I switched to a bog standard Windows lock screen wallpaper and rebooted a few times to make sure it wasn't a one-off, and it now works fine!
Switched back to my custom wallpaper and still fine.
Go figure...
That's the sort of silly sh#t that results from building a new OS like 11 on top of older ones rather than starting from scratch...
But if starting from scratch will take some days to reinstall and reconfigure everything again, I could tolerate some minor bugs. Even after installing everything the new system feels odd because it never is exactly what you had. It takes some time to get used to. That's why I prefer to upgrade and keep a clean installation as a last resort.

You've misunderstood what I said.
"Starting from scratch" is a statement about MS building Win 11 *on top of* preceding OS'es rather than designing it from scratch, thereby inheriting old issues and limitations and introducing weird problems.
ie solid new foundations rather than shaky old ones.

Microsoft Windows is known for its backwards compatibility and familiar user interface. That means you can use your old applications and games to some extent on Windows 11. You can even use most 64-bit drivers, even Vista 64-bit drivers when no newer are available. If Microsoft breaks this backwards compatibility will disappoint many people. Thankfully Microsoft is not Apple.
