Strange domain login behavior on Windows 7 Professional

[Fardringle]

One of the Windows 7 Pro workstations in my office recently changed the way that it handles the login process. I'm not aware of anything that has changed on the computer. No new software has been installed and nothing has been uninstalled. (It's possible that some programs like Adobe and Windows have installed updates)

Previously, this workstation behaved exactly the same way that all other computers do when logging in to the domain - Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, enter domain user name and password, and go straight to the user's Desktop screen. However, in the past week or so this one computer has started showing the non-domain/home user login screen after the normal domain login screen. So now user has to do the normal domain login, and then click on their user account icon and enter the domain password again in order to log in to the machine.

I've looked through the various Windows login options and searched Google but couldn't find anything helpful. Anyone know how I can disable this second login screen?

That's pretty weird. If System Restore is enabled, you might want to just try rolling it back to before it went rogue on you.

Remove and re-add to the domain may be worth a shot

I did a system restore which corrected the double login screen but killed the domain trust on the machine so I had to remove it from the domain and re-add it as well. I was kind of hoping to find out what actually caused the problem since it was so odd, but it's fixed now. Thank you for the help! 🙂
