Annoying Issue in the Log in Screen of MacOS

By Maldalain, 24 March, 2023

Forum
macOS and Mac Apps

So each time I start my Mac I receive a message before the log in screen which says installer no window. I wait for five seconds then I am on the log in window. Sometimes the log in window is announced but no items are shown like the field where I can input my password. I need to click the touch pad to activate the edit field. Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.

It's unfortunetly been that way for a while

As a totally blind person I just enter my password, however I've accidently sent my password to a group once. Sometimes I can toggle voice over off and on again and then enter it, sometimes I can tab away from the password field, and then suddenly Voiceover speech is working when I turn it on. I hope they fix it this year. It's one of the worst longterm bugs on MacOS for me.

Not encountering the bug

When I reboot mine, it goes straight to the password dialogue, VoiceOver announces it, and I can enter my password.
It's an Apple Silicon Mac (14-inch MacBook Pro) with File Vault enabled, although I don't recall any problems prior to enabling File vAult. I don't know what the crucial difference is between my system and those encountering the bug.

Now that I think about it, file vault solves this, as you bypass the login window, so to speak. Before enabling file vault, I used to encounter this bug, granted not often but it happened every now and then but after enabling file vault... nothing.
