Lockscreen Not Working

On my Surface Book, the lock screen always looks like this after awakening from sleep. It does not take up the full screen and can get annoying. All updates have been applied! How do I fix this?

    Also, there's a right side area of the trackpad that seems to never register taps as a left click, maybe that area is reserved as a scroll-only zone that we can't turn off yet???

    I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is Devices -> Mouse & Trackpad -> Press on the lower right corner of the touchpad to right-click.  I found it annoying too, and turned it off and it's totally fine.

    Meanwhile, I too experience the issues mentioned in this thread (inset lock screen sometimes, and other times seeing the desktop flicker before the lock screen shows).  I don't think I've experienced never being able to dismiss it short of Ctrl+Alt+Del, though I have seen instances of a separate issue (and one not isolated to the Surface Book) where sometimes the keyboard doesn't work to slide up the lock screen.

    I sure hope they're aware of and working on resolving this; doesn't seem like a very good sign when you've got multiple blatant lock screen glitches going on.  I don't think I've ever seen an earlier version of Windows get something like this wrong...
