With the
Microsoft Windows 10 Fall Creators Update release, Microsoft has enabled the following setting by default:
Settings, Accounts, Sign-in options, Privacy, Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart.
This feature is an advanced Windows Update feature. It uses sign-in information to automatically finish setting up a device after an update. With the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, it has been extended to regular reboots and shutdowns.
Microsoft's aim is to get the last user on the computer back to a locked state, rather than a signed-out state, after a user-initiated power cycle. This design, together with the automatic restoration, aims at a continuation of user experience across the power cycle. It's similar to locking or putting the device to sleep.
This feature change causes the DE credential provider to fail to understand if the current user logging into Windows is having their first attempt at the Windows logon screen. DE needs to determine whether to capture the credentials to be replayed for Single Sign-on (SSO) later.
NOTES:
- In earlier releases of the Windows 10 Creators Update (Redstone 2), this function applied only to Automatic Reboots. It was either Enabled or Disabled by default, depending on whether the drive has DE enabled or not.
- The option is available only on computers that aren't Enterprise-managed. These computers include home computers that are synced to Enterprise (work or school) email. In these scenarios, the Settings options aren't visible.
