Microsoft reports a Windows lock screen UI bug affecting managed enterprise environments where the password sign-in icon is invisible after the August 2025 preview update (KB5064081). Although not a security vulnerability, it causes user confusion; the login still works by selecting the hidden placeholder. A permanent fix is included in the January 29, 2026 preview update (KB5074105), and administrators are advised to deploy it or instruct users to use the workaround.
