As we all know, there is a clock on the lock screen. And the lock screen (with clock) disappears when we click to go type a password.
Can I show the lock screen (or at least the clock) from the password entry screen, without logging in and locking it again? Is there some keyboard shortcut or gesture that does this?
Answer
There does not appear to be any way to do this with the default login settings. Pressing esc does nothing.
However, if you turn on the option to require pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to log in, then pressing esc will work, as well as hitting the "back" arrow on the login page.
To require Ctrl+Alt+Del for login, go to the run dialog (Win+R) and type in control userpasswords2. Switch to the "advanced" tab and check "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete".
The locked screen will look the same is normal (clock, pretty picture, and all) but instead of being able to press any key to unlock, you must enter Ctrl+Alt+Del.
