This appears to ONLY happen with Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit.
MS Office 2016 32-bit

The problem is using a Password Char for a textbox. This Windows OS will not read characters in a masked textbox. Is there a way around that?

If I remove the character mask then the textbox works fine. But with a character mask Win 10 Ent sees only that character (*) and rejects the password.

The code works fine on my Win 10 at home, and other Win 7 boxes at work..... it's only the newly upgraded Win 10 Ent boxes at work that have this issue.

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim strPass As String


strPass = "nakosi"


If TextBox1.Value = strPass Then
    Call UnprotectAllSheets
    Unload Me
Else
    If MsgBox("The password was wrong, try again", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then
        Unload Me
    Else
        TextBox1.Value = ""
        TextBox1.SetFocus
    End If
End If
End Sub
