Computer shows as "Locked"

I cannot log into my computer and it shows a "Locked" image (see attached). This is not the typical Windows locked screen. I fear it's encrypted or may have a virus.

Thank you for responding. I will reach out to support ASAP.

Can you tell me if the image I attached has been seen before and if it has been identified?

Finally got a chance to look at the PC today. Someone installed the "Lock My PC" app on it. lock-pc

I ended up wiping the PC and starting over...all good now.
