Well, it's obvious to you and me, but maybe not so obvious to someone who thinks differently...

Our (work) icon is some generic thing and isn't even a shadow head icon so it isn't obvious and the term "user tile" is terribly generic too. And it is a terrible UI on that Start menu thing. And over all just terrible interface. Really terrible. It's esoteric information that if you know, you know. If you don't, you don't.

I connect remotely to work via RDP and a win10 VM desktop. I'm supposed to reset my password. To do so I believe I have to send a Ctrl-Alt-Delete via on-screen keyboard. It has worked in the past. Now I get this cryptic informational warning / error... https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fy98E.png[^] To use the commands available when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, click your user tile and choose an option. What!?! NOTE: This is a complaint, not a question. :laugh: I have no idea what a user tile is and I've been using windows of all versions since 1991. :rolleyes: EDIT Apparently a lot of people have no idea what the user tile is: User tile, Windows 10. - Microsoft Community[^] :| :|
Hmm, I always thought that pressing Ctrl+Alt+End on your physical keyboard is the designed way to sent Ctrl+Alt+Del to remote matchine via RDP

Yeah, for some reason it wasn't working. I'm remoting from Linux to a Windows box via Remmina (RDP for Ubuntu) and it seems that I can actually send a Ctrl+Alt+Del from that program anyways. I had to reset the RDP session and then it started working again. thanks

The user tile is found by clicking on the 'Windows' button in the taskbar. This will show the "Start Menu". On the extreme left is a vertical list of icons, the first of which is the "user tile". Click on that and the change password option will show.

I use "Classic Shell" so never see the Win10 start menu. However intrigued by this thread I fired it up (Shift+click start for Classic Shell users) and found the "user tile". There are various options there but NOT to change password. There's a "change account settings" option but that just opens a Control panel screen that again doesn't provide access to a means to change password. Conversely, using Ctrl-Alt-Del brings up a menu that includes "Change a password" - that does exactly what I'd expect.

Yes, you are correct. I was more just informing how to find / use the user tile. It does seem like a reasonable place to put the change password option though ...

Classic solution is press ctr+alt on the keyboard, then del on the on-screen keyboard on the remote machine. But at the rate they break things in W10 ...
